Existing health services are failing poor people and AIDS services are no exception. Reasons include inadequate investments in health systems, shortages of human resources, ineffective health service delivery, and inequities in access to health services. Given that the health sector has a central role to play in surveillance, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of HIV/AIDS, the goals of this session are to identify health system constraints in addressing HIV/AIDS and to discuss solutions based on the Bank’s comparative advantage to strengthen core health system functions in an effort to scale up HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
