Veneranda Sanga was one of the youngest members of PIUMA, an HIV patient activist group in Makete District. All of us who met her are saddened and angered by her needless death. Her very short life is a testament to the fact that incompetence and corruption in parts of the health care system are allowing men, women, and children in Tanzania to die from AIDS well before thier time. Thanks to Ikonda Hospital for trying to save Veneranda, alas, too late.
