Financial cost implications of an expanded free Antiretroviral therapy programme in Uganda and its financial sustainability

The purpose of this study has been to determine the costs of an expanded free ART programme in Uganda and its implications for financial sustainability. The annual and lifetime incremental costs of ART from one treatment centre in Uganda were analysed. The key results from this centre were used to estimate the incremental costs associated with the scaling up of ART services in Uganda from the provider's perspective. A key concern was that the financial costs involved might not be financially sustainable by the country.
