Closing Thoughts: We Need to Speed Up Scale-up
Thank you for following MSF’s presence at the 2012 International AIDS Conference. We close the conference with this quote from our HIV Policy Advisor, Sharonann Lynch:
“We can’t beat this plague with the same pace of scale-up and the same funding levels as we’ve seen the last three years. We need to speed up scale-up: every day, we need to be putting more people on treatment than the day before, and that means getting into the communities to test and offer people treatment closer to home.”
