As a result, millions of Africans now get the same advanced antiretroviral therapy (ART), available in the developed world long already. Research shows that AIDS death rates in Africa have stabilised, know little about the actual mobilization and circumstances of the treatment.

A consortium led by Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University received a grant of $4 million from the National Institute of Allergy and infectious diseases, part of the national institutes of health, spearhead of Central Africa International AIDS (CA IeDEA) assess epidemiological databases. CA-IeDEA researchers work directly with the Governments of Burundi and Cameroon, as well as with non-governmental organizations in Rwanda, to collect and analyze the data from almost 40,000 patients on art.

The international epidemiological databases evaluate AIDS (IeDEA) is a research consortium, which in 2005 to the unique and evolving issues in the global HIV/AIDS research through regional and intra-regional observational data. Kathryn Anastos, m.d., Co-Director of Einstein's global health center and United States investigators of the grant and her team the team analyse and publish it to the data produced. One of only seven IeDEA centers all over the world, CA-IeDEA will create a robust and flexible database, researchers can investigate the real practice and results of art, including their impact on the reduction of cancer and HIV interactions with other big deadly diseases, which is ravaging the region, such as such as malaria.

"Central Africa is a unique region, which provides its own set of challenges for the effective treatment of HIV/AIDS and positive patient outcomes", said Dr. Anastos. "By working with health heads of State and Government in Burundi and Cameroon, hope our teams, understanding about HIV/AIDS treatment, at the same time also for the improvement of care and the quality of life of its inhabitants."

The team will provide clinics in Central Africa and OpenMRS, an open-source electronic medical record system, which is a vibrant open source community to expand. Researchers, that the implementation of the system is to provide an effective means, gather consistent data and consists of participating clinics in each country a relatively low-cost healthcare IT solution which can elect the Governments, to as to expand a national initiative.

Dr. Anastos are for the General management and leadership of CA-IeDEA, including the development of the research team in each country, capacity building and stimulating epidemiologic brainstorming.
