Today, the South African Pharmacy Council joins the global community in commemorating World AIDS Day, a day to honour the lives lost, support those living with HIV, and reflect on the progress we continue to make together.
In line with this year’s theme, “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response,” we reaffirm our solidarity with all communities affected by HIV and AIDS. We also acknowledge the vital role of healthcare professionals who continue to drive awareness, expand access to care, and work tirelessly to combat stigma.
Through initiatives such as Pharmacist-Initiated Management of Antiretroviral Therapy (PIMART), South Africans will continue to benefit from broader access to HIV prevention and treatment services, bringing quality healthcare closer to communities and strengthening the country’s overall HIV response.
