ARV rollout & strengthening public health care system
The delivery of AIDS treatment and prevention also offers the chance to build up health systems in the poorest countries, providing health benefits for all. "By tackling it decisively we will also be building health systems that can meet the health needs of today and tomorrow. This is an historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss." (WHO)

Antiretroviral therapy -Pattern of chronic care, individual patients receive continuous follow-up treatment for the remainder of their lives, rather thanthe occasional acute interventions that characterize the response to most infectious diseases. -If health systems can be strengthened to accommodate this new pattern the management practices developed for antiretroviral therapy (appointment systems, integrated medical records, drug supply systems, and adherence support) can also be applied to the management of other common, chronic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.

Inequities in access to health care “Those with more money are most likely
to choose private health care as a first option while those with least money are far less likely to do so.
This choice is also linked to belonging to a medical aid scheme. The wealthy sectors of South Africa’s population almost all belong to a scheme, whereas the poorest cannot afford this cover.” HST
![Page 9: Implementing antiretroviral therapy rollout to strengthen the health care system Dr Olive Shisana Human sciences Research Council](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032313/56649e395503460f94b2b144/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Inequities in access to health care “Whites hardly use public hospitals and Africans
hardly use private hospitals. With regard to primary care (mainly the use of
general practitioners and pharmacists) the picture is slightly different. While again Whites hardly use public primary health care services, this is also true for Indians and to a lesser extent, Coloureds. 41% of Africans do use private services for primary health care.” (HST)

IMPACT OF HIV/AIDS ON HEALTH WORKERS AND THEIR WORK
Nearly 50% were exhausted and stressed because –
Inability to prevent the spreading of HIV/AIDS Increase of HIV/AIDS patients I.e.
overcrowded facilities HIV/AIDS patients require high level of
attention and care Drop in quality of care – race against time
and numbers Lack of health services for non-HIV patients
![Page 24: Implementing antiretroviral therapy rollout to strengthen the health care system Dr Olive Shisana Human sciences Research Council](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032313/56649e395503460f94b2b144/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GENERAL ISSUES RELATING TO HEALTH WORKERS’ WORK ENVIRONMENT
Increased workload during past year (73,4%) Workload has doubled since a year ago (22,3%) Working longer than officiall hours (39,4%) No job satisfaction (16,3%) Low staff morale (33,8%) Treated for stress-related illnesses during past
year (16,2%) and most had to take sick leave (63.9%)

Benefits of ARV Roll Out; Increased financing to improve the health care system
Over the next four and a half years, over R750 million is proposed for upgrading systems in the healthcare infrastructure in areas such as drug distribution, patient information systems and monitoring of reaction to the drugs.
The cost of implementing the plan was R296 million for the rest of fiscal year 2003/4, growing to nearly R4.5 billion in 2007/8.

Benefits of ARV roll out on the health care system
1. Fewer staff would be lost due to illness, absenteeism, low staff morale, low mortality.
Length of stay in hospital would decrease, leading to reduction in overcrowding (Lazarus Effect)
Improvement in patient management information systems and hence better quality of health care
Better treatment for other diseases

Benefits of ARV: Involvement of the Private Sector U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has said, "No company and no
government can take on the challenge of AIDS alone. What is needed is a new approach to public health--combining all available resources, public and private, and using all opportunities, local and global."
Currently in South Africa the private sector are said to have now put mechanisms in place to give ARVs to workers.
Harmony Mines, with support from the South African Department of Health has taken over the Lesedi Project and have begun replication in several South African mining regions.
The project established mobile clinic services and a peer educator network to reach women at risk in the vicinity of the Harmony Mines.
