News Briefs Zimbabwe: 34 Institutions Administering Nevirapine DrugSeptember 24, 2002 At least 34 Zimbabwe institutions are now administering nevirapine to prevent HIV/AIDS transmission from pregnant mothers to children, said Dr. David Parirenya-twa, the Minister of Health and Child Welfare. The minister told Parliament on Wednesday that although 59 institutions had initially qualified to provide the drug, most of them lacked the capacity to administer it. "We are still looking at other centers and are trying to determine their capacity to administer the drug. There is a lot of work that has to be done before the drug can be administered, such as counseling the mother who may have the virus." He said the government wanted to make sure that the drug was available at most health institutions in Zimbabwe.
