Right to Care’s mission is to provide its patients with quality HIV clinical care, antiretroviral therapy, and the treatment of associated diseases. Right to Care strives to provide quality clinical care to citizens from all walks of life, where and when needed. Right to Care has established a network of treatment sites, in multiple provinces, in collaboration with multiple partners. Among these are national and provincial departments of health and over 15 independent NGOs.
Right to Care encourages innovation at all organisational levels. This is revealed in strengthening public health systems, in developing models of care, and in using 21st century technology to address public health needs.
