PHRplus estimated the resource requirements of the antiretroviral therapy (ART) care package for Uganda for the period 2005 to 2012. The package of ART services is estimated to cost $60 million in 2005, rising to $92 million annually in 2012. A large number of doctors, nurses, lab technicians, counselors, community health workers, and pharmacy technologists will be needed to provide the ART care package alone, on top of the regular non-ART needs of the health program. The numbers needed for the program will more than double between 2005 and 2012 in some staff categories.
