UNAIDS slams 'unprecedented' disruption to programmes due to US funding cuts
  • UNAIDS has reported a significant disruption to global health programs due to substantial cuts in US funding, resulting in 2.5 million people losing access to HIV and AIDS medications. The organization warns that if the funding situation does not improve, an additional 3.3 million people could become infected with HIV over the next five years.
  • This development highlights the critical impact of US foreign aid policies on global health initiatives, raising concerns about the long-term consequences for public health and the fight against HIV/AIDS, particularly in vulnerable populations.
