Mozambique: MSF to ensure sustainability of ARV programme

In a bid to ensure the sustainability of its antiretroviral (ARV) treatment programme in Mozambique, the international NGO, Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), has focused on skills transfer with the aim of handing over the running of its sites to the government. This would see the government and local community taking over the responsibility for running MSF's Lichinga site in the northern Niassa province, which treats 370 patients, by the end of 2008.
