N Madlala-Routledge: Launch of Health and Democracy

It gives me great pleasure tonight to be the keynote speaker at the launch of this important new publication on South Africa's legal and policy framework for health and how it connects with human rights. Whilst we do not need to justify making health a human right in terms of South Africa's Constitution, there are of course other very important reasons why we must do all we can to improve health. These reasons are set out particularly clearly in the 2001 report of the World Health ... [highlighted result]

N Madlala-Routledge denies calling on T Mbeki to do AIDS test

Although I encourage people to test so that they know their HIV status, I did not, as a matter of fact, call upon the President to conduct a public test as claimed by the reports. This was in response to me taking a public HIV test as part of the Sunday Times campaign for South Africans to get tested. The main point I was making was to unite all South Africans behind this important campaign for testing, which forms part of the National Strategic Plan on HIV and AIDS and Sexually Transmitted ...

In the final analysis the cost of not treating HIV and AIDS far outweighs the cost of treatment. The Anglo American AIDS plan includes a workplace testing and treatment programme as well as a community partnership project to help accelerate the provision of comprehensive HIV and AIDS services in about 200 of South Africa's public clinics, especially in rural areas. The role of government in provision of ARVs by business includes development of policy on HIV legislation, strategy and a ... [highlighted result]
