Dear Forum members

I would like to share that while forum is a good mechanism to highlight and solve issues related to PLHIV but we also have to be responsible enough to verify facts before dashing off a posting to forum. This issue was personally discussed by BNP + person with me on phone and then with GIPA coordinator at Bihar SACS and it was assured that ART has not been stopped in Bihar. How can it be stopped like this?

While it is a fact there has been some shortages of drugs at some centres due to delay in procurement by the new procurement agency, RITES, but the CST division at NACO along with NACO regional coordinators have been monitoring the situation on day to day basis and many times twice or thrice a day and arranging relocations from other sites through courier, care coordinators and Clinton Foundation. All Regional coordinators and SACS officials have taken this issue on top priority. I am personally in touch with INP President, DNP, ITPC and other active members of network

The new patients are being registered at all centers in Bihar. The information collected from Bihar over last three days registration is a s below

This forum is working to facilitate the PLHAs in getting the quality service and keeping all of us aware of any new issues/ initiative taken anywhere in India for benefit of PLHA This is highly irresponsible to write that “ART has been stopped and Nobody has right to play with the life of PLHIVs in Biharâ€..Such irresponsible and baseless information flashing by any member just to make himself highlighted should be taken seriously and condemned . This is not going to benefit the PLHA care & treatment services and at the same time very discouraging to service providers at ART centre and SACS officials .

NACO has shown full commitments to provide all possible assistance to PLHIV and to work together with beneficiaries in a way which is an example in itself and we stand commit to the cause of containing the epidemic and Universal access to Care , support and treatment for PLHIV

Dear FORUM,

Re: /message/12623

Resending the mail as the earlier posting was incomplete.. (Editor)

We always appreciate any feedback for improving quality and feedback on shortage

of drugs, kits is appreciated .

At NACO we do not agree with your statement that Awakened Activist bring

problems in the Eyes of Government

But information must be factual and not made sensational just for the sake of it

Thanks

Dear Forum,

Greetings.

Re: /message/12603

According to " Dr Diwakar Tejaswi " s posting regarding the Big Rally of PLHIVs  in

Patna on 16th March at Patna, had been done by the Bihar Network People Living

with HIV/AIDS where 1500 plhivs gathered.

They raised some demands in that day. My question is why they did it because

these are all long pending. Out of all long pending demands uninterrupted supply

of ART was also there.

So it is clear that there was interruption supply of ART.

That means what I posted regarding ART supply in Bihar was not a wrong

statement.

Thaks and Regards,

Tarit.

Dear Forum,

Re: /message/12623

The factual information is that in Tamilnadu, ART stock is not as per

guidelines. there are some centres issuing 15 days drug, some ART centre having

only 2 week stock.

NACO can see what is wrong with procurement and TANSACS can come out and explain

the real situation and action taken for this to the PLHIV which is their DUTY. I

think there are regional level coordinators and they need to be responsible

enough to providing information to the beneficiary.

No point in just covering up the issue. Nobody is blaming anybody. But just want

to know the stock position and a promise for continued supply of ART for the

beneficiaries, and it is their basic right to know about this.

Hello All,

Re: /message/12623

We are very unhappy to know about the situation on distribution of ART medicine

in Chennai, Firstly our concern is for the people who have to travel long

distance(Tambram) to get second level ART.

People using the medicine for a hope of living and over coming  discrimination

at work places and society.

Moreover, if the medication is given for Bi Weekly PLH people havce to face

economic situations too...

taking leave from their work for every two three weeks can also effect thier

jobs and pockets too.

 

We sincerely request a remedy for this situation, As an Organization we are

always ready to take part in any action or protest to be taken to resolve this

issue. 

With Regards

Mr.N.ARUN CHOUDARY

Re: /message/12632

I visited the Navjeevan Community Care Centre, and they informed me that after a

protest, they have finally received the drugs.

AASRA Charitable Trust and Navjeevan Community Care Centre are planning to

observe IACM in May.
