©Gideon Mendel Lusikisiki, 1 January 2002 “By December 2002, the Khayelitsha project was showing good results. But could MSF repeat this model in a much poorer province? Many of our patients in Khayelitsha were ‘treatment migrants’ coming from remote Eastern Cape districts that had never even heard of HIV. When the Eastern Cape Health Department blocked us, we partnered with the Mandela Foundation to start an HIV programme in Lusikisiki, one of the poorest districts in the country. This photo of a little boy looking with bemusement at his ARVs in a remote Lusikisiki village came to symbolise that time.”
