The International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC)  was formed in 2003 by a group of 125 HIV treatment activists from 65 countries at a meeting in Cape Town, South Africa. Our mission from the start was to enable people in need, to access optimal HIV-related treatment.

ITPC is centered on the belief that the fight for HIV treatment remains one of the most significant global health issues of our time, and that activism about HIV has and will continue to provide inspiration, experience, and commitment to achieving health care and human rights for all.

ITPC also expanded its work beyond HIV, responding to the health priorities of coalition members and recognizing the opportunity to apply ITPC’s experience and network to advocacy for access to treatments and health services for TB, viral hepatitis, and other life-threatening conditions.
