Synopsis:
Concerned the public health care rights afforded to individuals under the Constitution and the state's obligation to take reasonable measures. Judgment by the Court confirms its obligation to review the state's actions in this regard. Two particular policies were challenged. One which provided Nevirapine to only two locations in the public health sector and for only 2 years and the other which stated that a comprehensive distribution of Nevirapine would only be considered after two years. The Court made a declaratory order defining these two infringements, and outlining the need to use the extra funds made available, to provide for the training of additional counsellors. An order requiring a report-back was not called for Judgment of the Court.
