U.S. and Tanzania Launch Medication Assisted Therapy Program for Drug Users


From right: U.S. Ambassador Alfonso E. Lenhardt, Phillip Marmo, Minister of State in Tanzania's Prime Minister's Office - Coordination & Parliamentary Affairs and U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Ambassador Eric Goosby - announced the establishment of the first Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT) program for drug users in sub-Saharan Africa. Services will be initiated shortly at a site in Dar es Salaam to be followed by two more sites in Zanzibar and Dar es Salaam. These services are a crucial part of HIV and health services because MAT allows drug users to return to a regular, productive and healthier life. (Photo courtesy of the American Embassy)
