We discuss how corruption affects access to antiretroviral therapies (ARVs) globally. Recent cases of theft of ARVs, collusion, and manipulation in procurement found in countries such as Central African Republic, Bangladesh, Malawi, and Guinea, show there is still much work to be done to reduce the risk of corruption. This includes addressing the structural weaknesses in procurement mechanisms and supply chain management systems of health commodities and medicines.
我们讨论了腐败如何影响全球获得抗逆转录病毒疗法 (ARV) 的问题。最近在中非共和国、孟加拉国、马拉维、几内亚等国发现了 ARV 被盗、勾结和操纵采购的案例,这表明仍有许多工作要做,以降低腐败风险。这包括解决卫生商品和药品采购机制以及供应链管理系统中的结构性弱点。
