The Ethiopian drug distribution is part of WHO's "3 by 5" initiative to provide antiretrovirals to 3 million HIV/AIDS patients in poor countries by 2005. Abera said international experts from WHO's African Regional Office in Brazzaville, Congo, and from its Geneva headquarters would soon arrive in Ethiopia to facilitate the treatment program.
