FREE ANTI RETROVIRAL TREATMENT FOR DIAGEO EMPLOYEES IN AFRICA
That this House congratulates the commitment given by the Diageo Group to provide all their employees and their dependants in Africa with free anti-retroviral drugs to help combat HIV/AIDS; further notes that, regardless of whether the employee ceases to work for the company, employees will receive this treatment for life once commenced; commends this approach to the problems facing HIV/AIDS sufferers; and calls upon the Government to persuade other companies operating in countries where HIV/AIDS levels are high but treatment is expensive and unobtainable to most sufferers to follow the humanitarian approach of Diageo.
