Africa: Tanzania MPs Exalt Rwanda's Fight Against HIV/Aids

Kigali — A group of Tanzanian Members of Parliament has commended the ongoing efforts in the fight against HIV/Aids, saying that Rwanda is a country that offers unique solutions aimed at controlling the scourge.

The twelve-man delegation is in the country on a study tour aimed at sharing experiences as well as focusing on the role of parliament in providing leadership for an effective response to HIV/AIDs.

Lediana Mng'ong'o a legislator representing Iringa region, said that she was impressed by how authorities in Rwanda have enabled thousands of people have access to antiretroviral drugs; a task she said still challenges many countries.

Mng'ong'o, a member of Tanzania's Parliamentary Standing Committee on HIV/Aids, added that Rwanda also offers unique procurement measures for patients looking for drugs.

"I was impressed by the one-stop centre for medicine at CAMERWA that also offers ARVs," the legislator, who is also head of the delegation said yesterday shortly after visiting UNAIDS offices.

She added that the kind of sharing knowledge, lessons learned and best practices amongst political leadership will go a long way in finding new ways of addressing old problems in HIV/Aids.

Millicent Obaso, another member of the delegation, said that Rwanda is doing very well in the 'task shifting initiative' where well trained nurses are given authority to provide ARV's to patients.

"This is good for countries to emulate because we always think that the task of giving out drugs should be left to highly qualified doctors," Obaso said.

She also said that Rwanda, unlike many countries, has performed well in concurrently handling treatment and prevention measures, adding that countries usually excel in handling one of the two.

The visit, by the legislators, was supported by the U.S President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

    Don't Go Here If You Like The Dark [http://www.infowars.com/infowars.asx]

    Jesus Christ said “ Except those days (of tribulation) be shortened , no flesh should be save “. There are sinister forces at work, especially in Black Africa, trying to destroy us by HOOK or CROOK.

    BY HOOK - Dr. Boyd E. Graves discovered the existence of a U.S. government- manufactured killing virus designed to kill Black People. It is called AIDS.

    1. This manufactured AIDS has a cure that the persons who developed it hold the patent on.

    2. Just Search using Dr. Boyd E Graves as a search word.

    BY CROOK – Dr. Peter Duesberg discovered that another form of AIDS was actually old diseases like pneumonia ( and other common diseases) which was renamed AIDS.

    1. This so-called form of AIDS actually doesn’t exist.

    2. But since the persons falsely-diagnosed to have this imaginary form of AIDS are treated with drugs like AZT , they tend to die from. The treatment.

    3. AZT was developed in 1958. It was developed to kill T-cells ; our source of life (the marrow in our bones ).

    4. Also Search using Dr.Peter Duesberg , author of “Inventing The Aids Virus “

    SO BEWARE OF THE AIDS GAME WITH YOUR LIFE AT STAKE.

    And in the LAST DAYS, when sin is running rampant in the land, a FIERCE-LOOKING WISE KING shall come into power.

    And his power shall be mighty. However The power he will have WILL NOT BE HIS OWN POWER.

    And THROUGH HIS POLICY HE SHALL CAUSE WITCHCRAFT TO PROSPER.

    And he shall magnify himself AND BY PEACE SHALL HE DESTROY MANY.

    He shall also stand up againt Jesus Christ, but HE SHALL BE DESTROY by the brightness of Christ’s return.
