Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 74801, member: 636"] Zimbabwe's health minister is telling people not to freak out about American funding getting yanked because the country has enough HIV meds stockpiled to last through the next 10 months. Douglas Mombeshora says the government and National Aids Council have already started buying more supplies to keep antiretroviral treatment flowing without interruption, and nobody needs to ration their medication or skip doses. President Emmerson Mnangagwa admitted funding cuts are hitting hard right when the country was recovering from COVID disruptions and dealing with other health crises, but he claims Zimbabwe is shifting toward financing its response domestically through the Aids Levy trust fund. The government wants to fold HIV services into primary healthcare so people can access testing and treatment at every level instead of relying on foreign donors. [/QUOTE]
