Sudáfrica padece una epidemia de VIH/SIDA en la que más de 6 millones de personas están infectadas. En el año 2000, con 80.000 infecciones de recién nacidos por año, la droga anti-retroviral Nevirapin ofrecía la posibilidad de prevenir la infección de 30 a 40 mil niños al año. Aunque el gobierno la recibió gratis durante cinco años, anunció que introduciría el tratamiento contra la transmisión intrauterina únicamente en algunos lugares piloto y que postergaría el inicio del tratamiento durante un año, lo que equivalía a negarles el tratamiento a la mayoría de las madres.

A group of citizens living with HIV/AIDS filed an amparo action against the Health and Assistance Ministry (HAM) due to its refusal to deliver drugs needed to treat the virus as prescribed (triple therapy). Applicants had no social security and lacked financial means to buy the prescribed drugs.

An HIV/AIDS-positive person submitted an amparo action with Peru's Health Ministry requesting full medical care, including permanent supply of drugs and periodical testing, as well as CD4 and viral load tests.

The Prosecutor's Office initiated a public civil action against the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, seeking to achieve enforcement of the Children and Adolescents Law (domestic law), including the creation and maintenance of confinement and partial release programs for young offenders.  The Regional Courts for Young Offenders had to order socio-educational confinement measures to be implemented in Porto Alegre, because this was the only city where such facilities were available.  This situation prevented children and adolescents from exercising their right to be confined at the same or

Mariela Viceconte interpuso una acción de amparo colectivo con la intención de obligar al Estado argentino a fabricar la vacuna Candid 1.

Varias organizaciones no gubernamentales presentaron una acción de protección por el deficiente tratamiento terapéutico y quirúrgico de los niños/as con cardiopatías congénitas, pacientes del Hospital de Niños J. M. de los Ríos de Caracas. Fundaron la acción en los derechos a la vida y a la salud previstos en la Constitución, en tratados de derechos humanos y en la Ley Orgánica para la Protección del Niño y del Adolescente. Los niños eran sometidos a largas esperas para acceder al cupo quirúrgico.

El Ministerio Público inició una acción civil pública contra el Estado de Río Grande do Sul con la finalidad de hacer efectiva la normativa del Estatuto del Niño y el Adolescente (ley interna). Solicitó, entonces, que se creasen e instalasen programas de internación y semilibertad para adolescentes infractores de la ley penal. Los Juzgados Regionales de Infancia y Juventud debían ordenar medidas socio-educativas privativas de libertad a ejecutarse en Porto Alegre ya que sólo en esa ciudad se encontraban disponibles entidades para acoger a los adolescentes.

South Africa is in the midst of an HIV/AIDS epidemic with more than 6 million people infected.    In 2,000, with infections of newborns in the range of 80,000 per year, the anti-retroviral drug Nevirapine offered the potential of preventing the infection of 30 – 40,000 children per year.  The drug was offered to the Government for free for five years, but the South African Government announced it would introduce Mother-To-Child-Transmission (MTCT) only in certain pilot sites and would delay setting these up for a year, thereby denying most mothers access to treatment.  The Treatment Action
