Health24: HIV/Aids Centre

Beijing - China's health ministry on Friday reported a 42% rise in the number of HIV infections, with a campaign to test hundreds of thousands of rural residents who sold their blood in the 1990s believed to be a major factor behind the sharp rise.

Health departments across China had reported a cumulative total of 126 808 HIV infections, including 28 789 Aids cases, by the end of June, the ministry said.

The report gave no reason for the sharp rise from the last reported total of 89 067 HIV cases by the end of September 2004.

Henk Bekedam, the World Health Organisation (WHO) representative in China, said the increase in reported cases appeared to be a "reflection that the government has been testing", said WHO spokesperson Aphaluck Bhatiasevi.

"We don't have the impression that there is an overall increase in infections," Bhatiasevi said.

She said recent random surveys seemed to "show little increase" in the number of HIV infections.

Blod donors tested

The health ministry launched a campaign last year to find and test former blood donors in poor, rural areas of central China.

Some 20 000 more cases were reported in the central province of Henan alone by November last year, according to state media reports.

Unsafe blood collection and usage has been one of the key reasons for the spread of HIV/Aids in China. Other reasons include intravenous drug use, especially in the southwestern border province of Yunnan, and increasing sexual transmission.

In a report at the end of last year, UNAIDS said sharp rises in the number of reported HIV cases since 2002 also "reflected the more rigorous HIV screening conducted among former commercial blood and plasma donors in Henan and injecting drug users in Yunnan during this period, as well as the ongoing expansion of the epidemic".

A warning from the UN

Henan is one of the worst affected areas, with health officials previously estimating that up to 100 000 people may have been infected through selling their blood since the mid-1980s. Other estimates put the number of infected at 500 000 to 700 000.

United Nations' health experts have warned that HIV could infect 10 million Chinese by 2010 if the government fails to expand its education, prevention and anti-discrimination campaigns.

Some UN experts estimate that about 1.5 million people in China are currently HIV infected, but the Chinese government uses a lower estimate of 840 000.

Most HIV-infected people are believed to be still undiagnosed because of ignorance, fear, poverty and other factors.

China's death toll from HIV/Aids had reached 7 375 by the end of June, the health ministry said on Friday. - Sapa-dpa

Breaking News
China, In Terms of Both its Healthcare System and Medical Device Market, is a Nation of Contradiction
10/14/2005 9:10:00 AM EST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c25690) has announced the addition of China Medical Market Intelligence Report to their offering.

China, in terms of both its healthcare system and medical device market, is a nation of contradiction. As the world's most populous country, and one in possession of the fastest growing major economy in the world, the nation offers a vast array of opportunities for overseas investors, complemented by a massive potential workforce and consumer base. The SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) crisis of 2003 forced the government to examine the Chinese health infrastructure in great detail and healthcare has become a priority of the present government, with promises of large scale investment in order to ensure epidemics such as this are dealt with more effectively and that the system as a whole is improved substantially. Other priorities addressed by the government include the standard of rural healthcare, which for many years has differed markedly in its quality to that in urban areas. In particular, the more basic practices of 'barefoot doctors' are to be phased out, and medical personnel in these impoverished regions are to be required to pass a more advanced series of qualifications. Increased investment from overseas in the form of a range of projects continues, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic in China has assumed greater significance, with the establishment of various programmes aimed at attempting to combat the disease.

However, several factors inherent in the nation's make up undermine many of these opportunities and the progress that has undoubtedly been made since the 1980s. Most obviously is the fact that although there are some very high quality hospitals and clinics in the big cities, China remains a very poor country; GDP per capita is on a par with that in Indonesia or the Philippines. Facilities are badly-equipped, drugs are in short supply and trained staff are lacking. Healthcare in rural areas, home to some 800 million people, remains very basic and is in places wholly inadequate to deal with normal healthcare problems, let alone short-term problems such as SARS or longer term problems such as HIV.

Funding is, of course, at the root of the problem, with most patients having to pay for at least a large part of the cost of treatment. The Chinese government has been attempting to improve healthcare funding through an expansion of healthcare insurance. Compulsory insurance is now established in urban areas, and is planned for rural areas by 2010.

This report is ideal for executives wanting to understand the key drivers in medical markets and have access to a wealth of statistical data. The report opens with an outlook section that provides analysis of the market and, importantly, provides 5-year forecasts by technology category, national data projections, outlook and key developments such as regulation, health facilities and government policy. The report also provides extensive background information, population trends, health status, health expenditure, organisation & administration, hospital services, medical personnel, healthcare development, market access information, trade data and essential industry contacts.

Some facts about AIDS in Africa
14 Oct 2005 01:01:51 GMT

Oct 14 (Reuters) - Sub-Saharan Africa, with just over 10 percent of the world's population, is home to more than 60 percent of all HIV positive people, or about 25.4 million people.

Here are some facts on AIDS in Africa and some of the big donors in the fight against the disease:

* The number of people living with HIV worldwide has increased from 35 million in 2001 to 39.4 million in 2004, the highest level ever. A total of 3.1 million people died from AIDS in 2004.

* AIDS killed approximately 2.3 million people in Africa in 2004. An estimated 3.1 million were newly infected during the past year.

- Women have a greater risk of becoming infected than men. Almost 57 percent of adults living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa are women and girls.

- HIV infection is becoming endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. Current high prevalence levels mean that even those countries that do eventually reverse the epidemic's course will have to contend with serious AIDS epidemics for many years. The havoc wrought by AIDS will shape the lives of several generations.

* The United Nations Aids programme, UNAIDS, said in a report that $15 billion will be needed in 2006, $18 billion in 2007 and $22 billion in 2008 for prevention, treatment and care of AIDS worldwide.

- It is estimated that $6.1 billion was available in 2004 for AIDS activities from all sources. Pledges and commitments currently known amount to $27.2 billion for 2005-7 producing a funding gap of roughly $18 billion.

* FUNDING: Two of the biggest players are the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and USAID, an independent federal government agency that provides economic, development and humanitarian assistance around the world.

* The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was created to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world's most devastating diseases.

- Last month, international donors pledged a total of $3.7 billion to The Global Fund for 2006-2007.

- In four rounds of funding, the Global Fund has approved disbursements worth $3.4 billion through more than 300 grants to 127 countries, including those with the greatest present disease burden and those at risk of future disaster. Approximately 60 percent of this total is for Africa.

...According to the United Nations, Zimbabwe now has one of the lowest life expectancies in the world and one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates. Just under 25 percent of people aged 15-49 are HIV-positive, according to the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS).

...Zimbabwe has one of the highest HIV/AIDS rates in the world.

According to UNAIDS, in 2003 an estimated 3,300 people died of AIDS every week in Zimbabwe. As with neighbouring South Africa, the epidemic has had a devastating effect. In 2003, there were an estimated 980,000 AIDS orphans, according to UNICEF.

Tuberculosis has increased by 500 per cent in the last decade -- the majority of TB patients are living with AIDS.

The virus has spread despite Zimbabwe being one of the first countries to take the epidemic seriously. In 1987 the government set up the National AIDS Coordination Programme to lead the national response.

In 1999, Zimbabwe became the first country in the world to introduce a three percent levy on all taxable income to finance HIV/AIDS activities. By December 2003, it had raised approximately $2 million, says UNAIDS.

The government set aside $2.5 million in 2004 to buy antiretroviral drugs. Even so, only 5,000 people - less than 1 percent of those eligible - are currently on AIDS drugs in Zimbabwe.

External donor funding for drugs has been very limited. But Zimbabwe is due to receive some help under the World Health Organisation's "3 by 5 Initiative", which aims to give AIDS drugs to three million people by the end of 2005.

The general health of Zimbabwe's people has also plummeted along with the economy. The United Nations says Zimbabwe now has one of the lowest life expectancies in Africa - just 33 years. In 1970, it was 56 years.

Zimbabwe's health care system was once considered a model for the region, but has come under severe strain because of under-funding and lack of foreign exchange for importing drugs. The sheer weight of the AIDS crisis has also taken its toll.

There is an average of one doctor per 16,800 people, according to the World Health Organization. Zimbabwe is believed to have lost two-thirds of its workforce in the last five years, including many doctors, because of the economic and political crisis.

According to the United Nations Children's Fund, the number of child deaths has risen faster in Zimbabwe than anywhere else in the world. In 1990, the child mortality rate was 80 deaths per 1,000 live births. By 2003 it had risen to 123.

SA bodies get slice of Bush plan to fight HIV

October 10 2005 at 11:57AM

Three South African concerns are part of a 15-member consortium which has been awarded a potential $7-billion contract in accordance with US President George Bush's Pepfar Plan to fight Aids.

They are the non-profit organisation AMFA, the black economic empowerment company Fuel Logistics Group and North West University.

The contract was announced quietly on September 28 by the US Agency for International Aid (USAid) on its website.

Strict instructions were issued to the consortium members not to mention the "potential amount" of the contract, which the consortium head office said was $7-billion.

Called the Partnership for Supply Chain Management, the consortium's head office has also issued stringent restrictions on what the 15 members may tell the media, to avoid "misstatements at this sensitive time".
The President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar) was initiated in 2003 to implement Bush's pledge of $15-billion to combat HIV andAids internationally. The plan was plunged into controversy recently when a top UN official criticised it as being driven by Christian fundamentalist ideology.

The PCSM project aims to supply a wide range of medicines, including ARVs, to people in countries across the world, including Russia and Haiti, but mostly in Africa...

It "will strengthen systems to deliver an uninterrupted supply of high-quality, low-cost products that will flow through a transparent, accountable system", says a media release.

All 15 members of the consortium have impressive resumés in practical experience in distributing medicines in difficult and hostile terrain. Most are US-based non-profit organisations and were selected by an "interagency panel", which included representatives from USAid and the US departments of health and defence...

North West University vice-rector Professor Theuns Eloff said the contract would provide a massive injection for research capabilities. Quality control of medicines and Aids test kits would be its main contribution, through its Cenqam (Centre for Quality Assurance of Medicines).

New research and training facilities will be built and give the university a great boost towards sustaining itself commercially, the central challenge for South African universities.

Based on the winning proposal, the contract funds up to $77-million in system operating expenses and technical assistance over the first three years, says the USAid press release. The drugs and supplies handled by the system could total $500m or more over that same period...
