Kenya: More Aids medication needed for children

For those Kenyans who have contracted HIV, getting access to anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) is seldom an easy matter. In the case of children, however, the situation is even more problematic. According to Health Minister Charity Ngilu, only 1,200 of the 44,000 people receiving free ARVs in Kenya are children - far below the 10 percent of HIV-positive children who are thought to be in need of treatment.
