    ð This PDF shows all HIV/AIDS medicines registered in Ethiopia. Appearing on the list does NOT mean that the drug is available, and even less that it is affordable. On the other hand, not being on this list means that, as a rule, the drug is simply not available.

  § The Human and Financial Resource Requirements for Scaling Up HIV/AIDS Services in Ethiopia, USAID, Feb 2005
    ð Extracts: "Recent data suggest that Ethiopia is facing a critical shortage of human resources to deliver even basic health services. In 1999, the physician to population ratio in Ethiopia was 1:48,000, one of the lowest in the world. The current (2003) ratio of 1:34,000 is still more than five times lower than the sub-Saharan Africa average and that of nurses (1:4,900) is more than four times lower. It is envisioned that ignificant numbers of health care personnel will be needed to provide antiretroviral treatment and other AIDS-related medical services since more than half of all hospital beds are occupied by AIDS patients." (abstract)
"It is critical to point out that the costs of HAART per patient per year are high ($705). Currently, more than 96 percent of the total cost ($678) is borne by the patient. In a country where the annual income of the average individual is $90 (UNDP 2004) and where over 60 percent of the population lives under the poverty line, HIV/AIDS services are unaffordable for the vast majority of the population."
