Call for support to put up Urgent PLWH needs to Indian PMO

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

In reference to the visit of Coalition for AIDS Treatment Access

(CATA) representatives at Indian Prime Minister's residence on 22nd

of Feb'08 to handover An Open Appeal to Dr. Manmohan Singh,

Honourable Prime Minister of India for Rollout of 2nd Line Anti

Retroviral Treatment in India with 10,000 signatures in favor of that

and to talk to him about CATA issues (As mentioned in the copy of

memorandum pasted below), we found his interest and assurance to take

immediate care of those issues.

At the same time, after listening to my deliberation about immediate

needs of people living with HIV, he instantly introduced me to

Principle Secretary of PMO to get in touch with me for further

communication and follow up.

This is an opportunity for the community of the people living with

HIV in India to put up immediate treatment and all the other relevant

issues to him through larger community deliberation.

Under this circumstance I would like to urge to all community members

to help and suggest me by this week to work on to take the maximum

advantage of the opted opportunity given by Honourable Prime Minister

to protect the rights of people living with HIV in India.

Thanking you,

In solidarity,
