South Africa heeds calls for free anti-Aids drugs In a dramatic turnaround, the South African government is to announce next month a programme that will eventually provide anti-Aids drugs free to all those who need them.

South Africa's Finance Minister, Trevor Manuel, is expected to make the commitment in his budget speech. It will give, on average, an extra eight years of life to the country's five million people living with Aids and HIV - the highest infection rate in the world.

At first, the anti-retroviral drugs will be given in pilot schemes to new mothers. These will be expanded over the next few years and the government is still considering how they will be financed and the drugs distributed.

Well, I hope it helps them if Congress decides to spend the money. But I have very serious doubts that it will.
