Abstract_ Introduction South Africa has the largest HIV AIDS epidemic of any country in the world. Case description National antiretroviral therapy ART policy is examined over the period of 1999 to 2008 which coincided with the government of President Thabo Mbeki and his Minister of Health Dr Manto Tshabalala-Msimang. The movement towards a national ART programme in South Africa was an ambitious undertaking the likes of which had not been contemplated before in public health in Africa. Discussion and evaluation One million AIDS-ill individuals were targeted to be enrolled in the ART programme by 2007 08. Fewer than 50 of eligible individuals were enrolled. This failure resulted from lack of political commitment and inadequate public health system capacity. The human and economic costs of this failure are large and sobering. Conclusions The total lost benefits of ART not reaching the people who need it are estimated at 3.8 .
