Creaking health systems hampering AIDS battle: WHO

LONDON - Crumbling health systems and chronic staff shortages are hampering efforts to provide AIDS sufferers with life-saving drugs, the head of the World Health Organisation's (WHO) HIV division said on Friday.

Dr Kevin De Cock said Africa, which has been hardest hit by the AIDS epidemic, is short of at least a million healthcare workers and, over the past quarter-century, infrastructures in many countries have eroded. "If you work in these countries it is very obvious, very quickly, that the elephant in the room is not the current price of drugs," De Cock told Reuters in an interview. "The real obstacle is the fragility of the health systems, particularly in Africa."

The Belgian-born infectious disease expert said bolstering health systems will be a priority for the global agency, along with expanding HIV testing and counselling, maximising prevention efforts, scaling up treatment and investing in surveillance, monitoring and research.

Although the WHO failed to meet its target of getting 3 million people on AIDS drugs by the end of 2005, De Cock said the 1.3 million that were on treatment by the deadline represented an eight-fold increase in Africa and three fold worldwide since end-2003.

Most of the estimated 40 million people living with HIV/AIDS live in sub-Saharan Africa.

"Treatment for AIDS is a legitimate aspiration for everybody in the world no matter where they live or how poor they are," De Cock said. "There is no going back on that."

The real challenge now, he added, is to sustain the momentum, to push for universal access to AIDS drugs and to get the political commitment to rebuild healthcare systems that have crumbled in the past 20-25 years.

You have health infrastructure that is dilapidated, a health workforce that is demoralised, labs that don't work, supply chains that don't exist and diagnostics that are missing," he said. "And in parallel with that, you have had the emergence of the AIDS epidemic."

To try to tackle the shortage of well-trained workers, De Cock said the WHO will launch a healthcare workers' initiative at the XVI International AIDS Conference in Toronto, Canada from August 13-18.

The initiative, called "Treat, Train and Retain," aims to address the problems, which are acute in Africa which has 24 percent of the global burden of disease but only 3 percent of health workers commanding less than 1 percent of world health expenditure.

"These are long-term issues but they are crucial," said De Cock. "The whole issue of getting long-term treatment out to people puts into very brutal focus this issue of infrastructure, personnel and systems."

 

Growing number of allergy suffers poorly served

LONDON - The growing number of allergy sufferers in Britain are poorly served by the lack of specialists and local doctors need better training to help alleviate the shortage, according to a government review.

The report said people with allergies were often unhappy with lengthy waiting lists of up to nine months to see a specialist and that many sought help from charities and other groups. Nearly three million people go to their local GP every year complaining of allergies and about 15 million Britons suffer from them.

In a foreword to the report, "A Review of Services for Allergy", junior health minister Ivan Lewis said doctors needed better training in allergies to help alleviate the shortage in specialists.

The review has heard that people with allergies often feel let down by a poor and frequently unobtainable service. For those living with an allergy severe enough to require specialist care, the lack of allergy services is a problem which can greatly affect their quality of life," the minister said. The term allergy is used to describe a response within the body to a substance that is not necessarily harmful in itself but results in an immune response that can range from mildly uncomfortable to deadly in rare cases.

The figure has been rising over the last few decades as evidenced by the growth in peanut allergy which 15 years ago was rare. Now one in 70 children is allergic to the nut.

Although experts are not entirely sure what is behind the rise in allergies, many link it to people's immune systems becoming increasingly oversensitive thanks to the high standards of modern hygiene.

There is also thought to be a link to the consumption of exotic foods, unknown to previous generations.
