Private practitioners withholding ART treatment histroy

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

 

Even in this days the Government and NACO providing free ART for the benefit of

the PLHIVs in order to improve their quality of life in all aspects, some of the

private practitioners are not allowing their poor PLHIV clients to access this

Government Free ART support because they have the fear of losing their clients

and ultimately money out this. 

 

So I request those private practitioners kindly hand over the treatment histroy

or case book whichever you are keeping with as a hold from the PLHIVs kindly

give it back to your poor clients to access the free ART support at Governnment

Health Service Centers.

Most of the poor clients are not able to bear up the medicine cost and its

related OI treatments as they are not aware about the free services available at

nearst hospitals when they started or forced to start ART even without any

protocal.

 

Above all if the spouse is taking treatment in that hospital the particular

hospital insisting their spouse should also enrol and get ART medicines from

them. 

Who is going to stop all this inhuman practices?

 

 

Secretary,
