President Mahama reassured Winnie Byanyima, the Executive Director of UNAIDS, during a courtesy call that Ghana has identified other funding sources to make up for the gap caused by PEPFAR’s pullout.
The critical need to sustain and enhance Ghana’s progress against the disease and the 2030 aim highlights this.
Young girls and women are the most impacted demographic, which is a concerning trend that requires immediate response.
In addition to the government’s efforts, First Lady Lordina Mahama and the Ghana AIDS Commission continue to support advocacy programs that help stop the virus’s spread, manage those who are infected, combat stigma, and help them integrate into society so they can lead fulfilling lives.
President Mahama concurs with the Executive Director of UNAIDS that a worldwide HIV response is necessary to address issues endangering decades of advancements.
