The Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), famously known for challenging and winning a constitutional case against the state to make antiretroviral (ARV) treatment available and accessible to all people living with HIV/Aids in South Africa, held its 7th National Congress in Johannesburg over the weekend of 26 and 27 August 2022. Members from across the country gathered to reflect on its work and for new leadership elections to take place, presided over by officials from the Electoral Institute of South Africa. The TAC has continued to advocate an improved public health system and an end to the corruption that has plagued public health.
