The US humanitarian aid to sub-Saharan Africa reached $3.7 billion last year, with a significant portion supporting health initiatives like PEPFAR. This program has drastically transformed the lives of those with HIV, moving the region closer to achieving global health goals regarding diagnosis and treatment. However, concerns are raised about the potential collapse of health systems, particularly in Nigeria, if funding ceases, jeopardizing years of progress against the HIV epidemic since PEPFAR’s inception over two decades ago.
"We will have a near collapse of the health care system if all funding is stopped after the 90-day freeze, because the government of Nigeria alone will not be able to provide the services needed."
