'Your papers, please' must never be heard in America
Some 15,000 AIDS victims in Congo likely will die waiting for lifesaving drugs in the next three years, Doctors Without Borders warned Wednesday in a report describing "horrific" health care access.
Medical coordinator Anja De Weggheleire said the estimate of 15,000 dead in three years is horrifying but represents only the tip of the iceberg since most victims don't even know they are infected.
"What I'm seeing in (Congo) has not existed elsewhere for years," De Weggheleire said. "The situation here reminds me of the time before any anti-retroviral treatment was available."
