HIV/AIDs patients lack medicines at Uganda’s Rhino refugee camp

UGANDA (7 Apr.)

Dozens of South Sudanese refugees living with HIV/AIDs at Rhino camp in
Uganda lack access to antiretroviral therapy, leading to deterioration of
their health conditions, a local elder said.

Nyani John Alex, a community elder at the camp told Radio Tamazuj on
Thursday that there are more than 40 South Sudanese refugees who are
currently living with HIV/AIDs in the camp, but the camp lacks health
facilities.“There are drugs in a treatment centre but it is really far from
the camp and some people who are really sick and they don’t have money,
they cannot go to the far distances. But the health organizations should
come and establish a healthcare centre in our camp,” said John.

John pointed out that at least two people died last year at Eden 4 Zone due
to lack of treatment.He appealed to humanitarian organizations and the
government of Uganda to establish a health facility in the camp so that
people living with HIV/AIDs can get access to health services.
