This is an archive of the Treatment Action Campaign's public documents from
December 1998 until October 2008. I created this website because the TAC's
website appears unmaintained and people were concerned that it
was becoming
increasingly hard to find important documents.
The menu items have
been slightly edited and a new stylesheet applied to the site. But none of the
documents have been edited, not even for minor errors. The text appears on this
site as obtained from the Internet Archive.
The period covered by
the archive encompassed the campaign for HIV medicines, the civil disobedience
campaigns, the Competition Commission complaints, the 2008 xenophobic violence
and the PMTCT, Khayelitsha health workers and Matthias Rath court cases.

Error: The quote attributed to Sister Du Preez on page 12 contains an error. It should be read so as if the sentence "It is also necessary to end political party conflicts which often lead to failure of community involvement in the clinic." does not appear in it. This erroneously attributed statement was included as a result of a misunderstanding between Du Preez and the journalist who interviewed him. We apologise for any inconvenience caused to Sister Du Preez.
