Tuesday, 03 March 2020 13:34
Zambia will receive $389 million in financial assistance from the United States to advance fight against AIDS, the Ministry of Health said this week. The funding is part of the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), launched in 2003 by President George W. Bush.
“The U.S. government, through PEPFAR, is a strategic partner in Zambia's National HIV response which has been instrumental in accelerating the nation's progress toward attainment of epidemic control of HIV and AIDS by 2020,” said Zambian Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya (pictured).
The new aid is scheduled to be released by October 2020, following approval by the US Congress.
