3.3.3 CARE AND TREATMENT
By the end of 2007, an estimated 3 million people received ART worldwide—over
70% of these are from sub-Saharan Africa. Across the world, the number of
people accessing ART has grown more than 7 times in 4 years. The bulk of this
increase comes from sub-Saharan Africa, where almost 2.1 million people were
receiving ART by the end of 2007. This represents a 60% increase in just one
year—as 2006 saw about 1.3 million on ART.
