Gauteng province's roll-out of antiretroviral drugs for HIV/Aids patients will begin on April 1, health MEC Gwen Ramokgopa said yesterday.

The province hopes to treat about 100 new cases a week, starting in five hospitals, and expanding to 23 institutions by this time next year.

The aim is to reach 10 000 people by the end of March 2005, Ramokgopa told a press conference in Johannesburg.

The hospitals are Johannesburg Hospital, Chris Hani-Baragwanath, Helen Joseph, Coronation and Kalafong.

This was the province's first indication that it will be able to implement the comprehensive care and treatment plan for people living with HIV/Aids approved by Cabinet in November 2003. – Sapa.
