An open letter to President of India Ensure Universal Treatment Accessibility
To,
Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam,
President of India,
Rastrapati Bhavan,
New Delhi, India.
Sub: An open letter to Ensure Universal Treatment Accessibility of
the Citizens Living with HIV in India.
Hon'ble Sir,
On the eve of "INTERNATIONAL CANDLE LIGHT MEMORIAL DAY" as well
as "GLOBAL AIDS WEEK OF ACTION", I would like to take the privilege
to draw your kind attention by remembering our "Citizens Died of
AIDS" to protect the "Rights of Universal Accessibility To
Treatment" of the "Citizens Living with HIV in India" today.
As an ordinary citizen living with HIV for more than 7 years in
India and currently in 2nd line Anti Retroviral Therapy, under the
treatment of School of Tropical Medicines, Kolkata, without the
support of 2nd line Anti Retroviral Drugs as per National Aids
Control Policy.
We the citizens of India needs 2nd line ARD towards our productive
healthy life are living with the support of the foreign donors, with
an unknown support future. Some of them already withdraw support all
on a certain to some people like me, just avoiding Humanitarian
aspect of the stakeholders towards livelihood.
The National Aids Control Policy itself violating the Right to
Survive of the Indian Citizens like me by allowing us to die without
Treatment, although it is called as a Right Based Policy. The Policy
is just ignoring Citizens Lives as well as loosing National Human
Resource or National Productivity, causing "shortage in fund" or
mentioning the lives, "Small in Numbers". Practically, which means
our Government do not give any value to the lives, if they are small
in number! Hopefully, Constitution of India do not support above
mentioned logic of National Aids Control Policy ideally. Indian
Constitution indicates equal opportunity for every citizen.
Under these circumstances, I would like to forward my humble request
to you as President of India to take urgent necessary action to save
the lives of Indian citizens living with HIV needs 2nd line ARD with
an unknown future or to save us not to die without Universal
Accessibility of Treatment.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Snehansu Bhaduri.
