The Guy Who Delivers HIV Medicine On His Bicycle

Sizwe Nzima, right, and one of his six employees deliver medicines to patients in a Cape Town neighborhood.

He was sitting in a clinic. Waiting. And waiting. And waiting for his grandparents' HIV medicine.

Sizwe Nzima was a high school student in Cape Town, South Africa, when he would pick up the medicine for his HIV-positive grandparents, who had difficulty traveling to the clinic themselves. Because of the long lines, Nzima usually waited hours and often made multiple trips to the clinic before and after school. He tried to bribe the pharmacists to get the medication sooner. But it didn't work.

So there he was, sitting on a hard wooden bench at the clinic one day about four years ago, when he had an idea: Why not start an HIV medicine delivery service?

He did some research and found that plenty of companies in Cape Town delivered medication to people's homes. But none were operating in the city's low-income townships, where unemployment levels are high and most people live in wooden or metal shacks. The companies told Nzima it wasn't that they were discriminating against poor people. They just couldn't find the houses.

As a teenager, Sizwe Nzima was frustrated by long waits at pharmacies dispensing HIV medications. So he began a medicine delivery service, now serving 930 patients. Anders Kelto for NPR hide caption

As a teenager, Sizwe Nzima was frustrated by long waits at pharmacies dispensing HIV medications. So he began a medicine delivery service, now serving 930 patients.

"You punch [an address] into Google, Google won't find it," Nzima agrees. "It needs local knowledge."

Nzima might be onto something. The problem of wait times in sub-Saharan African is epic. In South Africa alone, one in eight people more than six million are HIV-positive. Across the continent, tens of millions are infected with the virus. The result is overcrowded health clinics, and patients who travel great distances to get their HIV medicine.

Published November 18, 2014

NEW HAVEN, Conn. A Yale School of Medicine doctor who was removed as director of the cardiovascular research center over accusations of sexual misconduct says he takes responsibility for his actions.

The New Haven Register reports (http://bit.ly/11eHPeK ) that Dr. Michael Simons wrote in an email Monday he takes responsibility for briefly pursuing "a junior but not subordinate colleague."

The former colleague, Dr. Annarita Di Lorenzo, and her husband, Dr. Frank Giordano, have filed complaints with the state Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities. Their lawyer, Victoria de Toledo, did not detail the contents of the complaint.

De Toledo says her client was sexually harassed and that Yale and her supervisors were "completely unresponsive."

Yale President Peter Salovey (sahl-oh-VAY') attended the first meeting on Monday of the School of Medicine's Task Force on Gender Equity.
