IMPACT<br />
The Treatment Action Campaign convinced the government to introduce a national<br />
program to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission through access to a short<br />
course of AZT (an antiretroviral drug) and to increase spending on HIV/AIDS<br />
prevention and treatment 18-fold. As a result, 80 percent of women were able to<br />
receive HIV care through the public sector. In 2003, the government approved a<br />
national antiretroviral (ARV) program, and in 2007 the government committed to<br />
spending US$6 billion on HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment between 2007 and<br />
2012. This plan allowed for 1.6 million people to receive ARV treatment by 2011.<br />
