"Burundian NGOs say at least 20 people have died" as a result of a "months-long shortage" of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs), although "Ministry of Health officials could not be reached to confirm the number of people affected," PlusNews reports. "More than 60,000 Burundians need HIV treatment, but only about 25,000 have access to ARVs," according to the news agency, which adds, "The shortage has been blamed on dwindling donor funds and a disorganized health ministry."
