TUBERCULOSIS AND HIV IN RWANDA

Early day motion 1675, tabled 30 March 2011 by Cathy Jamieson (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

That this House welcomes the significant improvement in treatment rates for tuberculosis (TB) and HIV in Rwanda over the last decade; notes the importance of integration of TB and HIV services within wider health efforts in the country, particularly in maternity care; acknowledges the benefits that this approach can bring to a country's health system; is concerned by the continuing high levels of co-infection between TB and HIV and high mortality rates associated with both diseases in many African countries; and calls on the Government to support efforts to share best practice from Rwanda in other countries.
