The battle is far from over!

Médecins sans Frontières - In an impressive short film MSF shows what they see on a daily basis in countries they work in: "The battle against HIV/AIDS is still far from over as the epidemic continues to claim 1.6 million lives each year and millions more do not have access to lifesaving treatment."

"It's hard to explain the urgency of the HIV problem to people in other parts of the world. They don't see dramatic images in the media of people dying en masse, like in wars or natural disasters. People with AIDS die slowly, they die unnecessarily, and they often die without any public outcry. I want people to see that HIV/AIDS is not over yet." - Gilles Van Cutsem, MSF doctor, South Africa.
