Malawi: Power relations and policy on equity in access to ART

The national ART scale-up plan contains several measures to promote equity, considering also that there are insufficient resources to cover everyone who is eligible. Thus study focused on four of these covering ART enrolment on an open ‘first-come, first-served’ basis; targeted gender-sensitive health promotion of ART, measures to overcome specific geographical barriers to access for remote populations and prioritisation of people already on ART, pregnant women and young children.
