Ukraine increases funding for HIV, TB treatment programs by 140%

"Despite deep economic crisis in 2014-2015 due to the military aggression [of Russia against Ukraine], the Government made an unprecedented decision to increase state funding for HIV treatment and TB treatment programs by 140% each," Rozenko said. In his view, this step as well as the active participation of the international donors should allow Ukraine to double the number of patients who will receive antiretroviral treatment in 2017.
