Notes
1. The global health theme is universal health coverage with access to safe, effective and affordable essential medicines.
2. This is slightly misleading. It does not matter what people die of; as long as the number of deaths of HIV-infected people is lower than the number of new infections, the pool of people requiring treatment will grow.
3. This may change with the Ebola epidemic, but it is unlikely.
