Dear forum,

/message/10800

Lessons learnt from floods in Surat,Gujarat in 2006 (where the second ART centre

of the state was yet to start),where the SACS had take proactive facilitation of

availability of sustained ART to all those already on ART with a very active

support of the state network of the PLHIV may be considered.

Similar mechanism may be attempted in other affected states along with the

useful suggestions made by Sri Hari Singh.

Best wishes,

Rajesh Gopal.
