Due to AIDS-related diseases and malaria, ANADER, the National Agency for
Rural Development and Support in Côte d'Ivoire, loses 30 of its employees each

The significant decrease of ARV prices in June 2004 has allowed this company to offer HIV/AIDS treatment and care to its 2,500 employees, and their families, if necessary. The next step will be to apply a similar fund to rural villages......Find out more !!!
