, April 17, 2013
Ukrainians suffering from infectious diseases such as HIV, AIDS, tuberculosis and hepatitis take part in a rally in front of Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers building to protest against the lack of drugs for treatment, which are supposed to be bought by the state and handed out for free to patients, in Kiev on April 17. The protesters believed they would die soon due to the lack of health care from the state. Ukraine suffers from one of the most severe HIV and AIDS epidemics in Europe, according to the World Health Organisation. Reuters/Gleb Garanich
