The State of healthcare for key populations’ People who belong to, what is referred to in HIV jargon as, key populations (KPs) including men who have sex with men (MSM), people who use drugs (PWUD), sex workers, and transgender people often report that it is difficult for them to access healthcare services. While many publications have often reported on such issues, the reporting has mostly focussed on individual cases. Last week, community healthcare monitoring group Ritshidze, launched a report, titled ‘State of healthcare for key populations’; and this large survey has given a glimpse into how big the problem of access to healthcare is and it also provides some insights into the particular ways in which services for people belonging to KPs fall short.
