Health Minister, Aaron Motsoaledi, says some 70 000 South African children live with HIV/AIDS and need antiretroviral treatment.
Speaking during his visit to the Pelonomi regional hospital in Bloemfontein for discussions with local health officials, Motsoaledi said his intention was to establish whether government health programmes, such as the antiretroviral programme, is implemented at the ground level.
Motsoaledi notes that HIV/AIDS is South Africa’s single biggest health problem, adding that children born with the disease will immediately go onto a treatment programme.
