President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief: Report on Work Force Capacity and HIV/AIDS

摘要

An estimated 38.6 million people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS as of the end of 2005. Over 25 million of them live in resource-poor areas areas with weak and understaffed health systems. HIV/AIDS places a growing strain on already stressed health care systems and workers in these countries. The challenge of this disease is compounded by the struggle to acquire the capacity, knowledge, and skills to deliver prevention, treatment, and care to all those infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS.
