ABUJA, Nigeria (Reuters) - Nigeria needs about $248 million to expand its anti-AIDS program and provide life-saving pills for 200,000 of its 3.5 million citizens infected with the virus, the country's health minister said Wednesday.
Nigeria launched Africa's biggest AIDS control plan in 2002 to distribute cheap antiretroviral drugs from India to 10,000 adults and 5,000 children at a subsidized monthly cost of $7 per person.
