Measures are in place to correct the effects of an interruption in the antiretroviral (ARV) supply to areas of the former Transkei, the Eastern Cape health department said on Monday.<\/p>\n

Spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said an illegal strike at a medical supplies depot in Mthatha last month had interrupted the supply of the HIV drugs.<\/p>\n

The workers were upset that money owed to some staff had not been paid.<\/p>\n

Kupelo said they turned away delivery trucks, thereby disrupting the ARV supply to clinics and hospitals in the eastern part of the province.<\/p>\n

The department suspended 29 depot staff, and they were undergoing internal disciplinary processes. The department was busy recruiting more staff for the depot.<\/p>\n

As an emergency measure, the provincial health department had assigned staff to the depot, with the help of the national health department.<\/p>\n

A M\u00e9decins Sans Fronti\u00e8res (Doctors Without Borders) team had arrived in the area to help deal with the backlog, Kupelo said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is getting under control with the intervention in place.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the department would not hesitate to act against officials who disrupted service delivery. He criticised the suspended depot staff for \u201cpunishing the innocent\u201d by bringing a complaint against the department.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Saturday, the Treatment Action Campaign said about 30 hospitals and 350 clinics were threatened by the ARV supply interruption. – Sapa<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
