The United States’ President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (Pepfar) is slated for withdrawal by the end of 2027, according to the Namibian HIV Clinicians Society. This withdrawal impacts the goal of ending the HIV epidemic and the use of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Namibia. Due to the funding withdrawal, the Lenacapavir access strategy in Namibia is being revised, excluding Gilead from the current plan.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The withdrawal of US government funding, which previously supported the expansion of access to injectable PrEP like Lenacapavir in low and middle income countries, forces a major shift in Namibia's national health strategy. This impacts the ability of the government to sustain the current health initiatives and drug procurement plans.
