The Treatment Action Campaign, the lobby pushing for the rights of HIV/AIDS victims, says that a meeting of government's advisory and advocacy panel on the epidemic amounted to another missed opportunity to deal with urgent issues. In its statement the SA National AIDS Council, Sanac, gave no signal of national government's intentions to allow disbursement to KwaZulu-Natal of grant funding from the Global Fund. The Treatment Action Campaign accused the health minister of blocking the grant because it would expand access to antiretroviral treatment in the public sector.
