The Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR) has expressed worry over increasing reports that HIV/Aids patients are forced to queue to access ARVs at Ngabu Rural hospital in Chikwawa.
CHRR Advocacy coordinator, Fletcher Simwaka said lack of a standalone ART clinic at the facility undermines the privacy and dignity of the patients to access health services at a favorable environment.
This was revealed during an interface meeting which the organization held with duty bearers and service providers at Ngabu Rural hospital in the district.
Said Simwaka: “We indeed held an interface meeting with duty bearers as well as the service users especially health service users in Ngabu with an aim of addressing the challenges patients are facing in accessing ART treatment in the area. The activity was successful as it created a forum where duty bearers, communities came together to discuss issues and challenges as well as to find amicable solutions.”
According to Simwaka,there was a need to strive so that the rights of the people on ART are respected as there was no way ART patients would queue for the service.
Among others,during the interface meeting,the communities also outlined the challenges of drug shortage and under staffing as the major set back being faced by communities in accessing health services.
He however, commended a strong relationship between government and CHRR and stated a need to support government in the 2015/2020 National Strategic Plan where amongst them is the 90:90:90 HIV/AIDS initiative.
Chikwawa ART Coordinator, Mark Suzumire said construction of the new ART clinic at Ngabu Rural health centre is underway hopefully to be completed next year.
The interface meeting was attended by the councilor of the area, Chikwawa D.H.O and other government officials and stakeholders.
CHRR with financial support from Oxfam is carrying out the activity
“Enhancement of communities’ demand for equitable health services in T/A Kayembe, in Dowa district and T/A Ngabu in Chikwawa district. The main goal of the project is to promote a society where dignity for all men, women, boys and girls affected and infected by HIV and AIDS is upheld.

I kept on managing the drugs i usually purchase from the health care agency to keep me healthy and strengthen, i tried all i can to make this disease leave me, but unfortunately, it kept on eating up my life until i came in contact with a lovely article on the internet on how this Powerful Herbal Doctor got a lady cured of the Hiv virus. So as a patient i knew this will take my life someday, and thoughts of this troubled me. So i copied out the Dr Whatsapp number :2348079062707 and messaged him immediately.He sent the herbal medicine to me and after a month and some days of taking it he asked me to go for check up. i went to my medical doctor only to hear from him that i am HIV NEGATIVE. I jump up at him with the test note, he ask me how it happened and i told him everything that happened with Dr ikuku so he ran another series of tests,i was still found negative. I am now so very happy.the joy in me is my reason for sharing this testimonies to everyone who seeks healing, because once you get calm and quiet,the disease get to finish your life off.

Then why not open more healthy centers for them to reduce the problem.
nothing wrong, thats the procedure, they must be on line : ARVs, are part of medicine
