Over the next decade, AIDS will kill more people in sub
Saharan Africa than all the wars of the 20th century.
"This isn't some disease, it's a disaster," says a Kenyan
community worker. With more than 70 per cent of the global
caseload of AIDS afflicting sub-Saharan Africa, the disease
is considered the greatest single threat to development
and political stability.
This chapter looks at measures to improve prevention and
health care in light of this highly preventable disaster,
concluding that nations and agencies must adopt a common
strategy which recognizes that prevention is possible and
affordable.
