Caribbean vows resilience in AIDS fight despite funding cuts

The Caribbean health alliance overseeing HIV programs is pushing back against major funding cuts threatening treatment access across the region. Dr. Wendy Telgt Emanuelson from PANCAP said financial shortfalls could wreck prevention programs and medicine availability, but Caribbean nations refuse to lose ground after hitting elimination milestones for mother-to-child transmission.

The director emphasized previous victories like meeting treatment targets and called out the need for better supply chains, plus community empowerment to stretch resources. She told people living with HIV that support stays solid despite budget pressures.

PANCAP pledged to keep building on decades of progress rather than watching gains disappear.
