FROM THE TREATMENT ACTION CAMPAIGN IN SOUTH AFRICA:

Every day more than 600 people in South Africa die of

HIV/AIDS-related illnesses. Many lives could have been saved had our

government shown urgency and commitment. We still have a chance to

save millions of lives.

We cannot wait any longer for a visible and dynamic response from the

government, business and international community. We do not need any

more reports to tell us what we already know - HIV/AIDS is killing

600 people a day in this country and ruining lives and hopes. But

with will and commitment this does not have to happen. With

leadership from business and government, together with labour and

communities, it is still possible to save lives and restore hope. --
