The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep concerns about the impact of immediately suspension of immediate funding for HIV programs in low -income and middle -income countries. These programs provide access to HIV therapy, which saves more than 30 million people around the world. Worldwide, 399 million lived with HIV at the end of 2023.
Stopping the HIV programs can quickly increase the risk of illness and death, and impair efforts to prevent communities and countries. Such measures could lead to new infections and deaths over the long term, reversed the progress of decades, and could regain the world in the 1980s and 1990s, which died in HIVs every year around the world. 。
For the global community, this is a major recession in partnerships and investment advances, which are the basis of excellent public health programming, such as innovative diagnosis, affordable pharmaceuticals, and HIV care community -provided models. It may be brought.
We call the US government to ensure additional exemptions to ensure the treatment and care of LifeSaving Hiving.
Pepfer’s heritage and current risks
The U.S. President’s AIDS Emergency Plan (Pepfar) has been a world -class flagship initiative since its establishment more than 20 years ago. Pepfar’s current funding has a direct impact on millions of life, which depends on the predictable supply of safe and effective anti -retrovirus treatment.
