Why Africa needs culturally sensitive talk therapy? | Etheldreda Nakimuli-Mpungu | TEDxEuston
Ethel surprises the TEDxEuston audience with a question that startles their innate assumptions about mental health professionals.

Developing Antiretroviral Therapy in Africa (DART) |DART Antiretroviral Trial
The largest clinical trial of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for people with HIV infection ever run in Africa has found that regular laboratory tests offer little additional clinical benefit to populations when compared to careful clinical monitoring.
World leaders promised universal access to #AIDS treatment by the end of 2010, but today millions of people can still not get access to #AIDStreatment and the money is running out.
Many patients have to walk long distances to the clinic to receive treatment. This is due to an assumption that patients taking antiretroviral medicines (ARVs) also need routine laboratory blood tests. These tests check for side effects and to see if the treatment is working. This has led to many treatment programs stipulating that only centres that can do blood t...

It, in turn, produces a powerful physiological response that is now being used to stave off wrinkles, treat injuries and even sleep disorders.

Ethel profoundly, but gently, takes the TEDxEuston audience on her journey of being on both sides of mental health care and support.

The long distance has led to many being unable to make the trip and so unable to access life saving treatment.
Leading #HIV investigators from the UK and Africa have demonstrated that many more people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa could be treated if laboratory tests were used in a targeted rather than routine way.
