@DevelopedNgo statement on @GlobalFund #8thReplenishment: #HIV #TB #Malaria needs have not changed. When donors choose to cut #GlobalHealth funding people living w/ & affected by the 3 diseases are left behind #MoreNowThanEver Read our statement here 👉 shorturl.at/EtspW

Every child deserves to be born free of HIV, syphilis & hepatitis B. 💙 At Africa’s inaugural #TripleElimination Conference in Kampala, @Africa CDC, @_AfricanUnion Member States and partners committed to end mother-to-child transmission by 2030. With stronger systems, vaccines & care for mothers, we can ensure every child is born free from preventable infections. Read more 👉 ow.ly/Fw1O50XnBYh #NewPublicHealthOrder

The political leadership shown by @RepBarbaraLee & @RepMcClellan is crucial to close that gap and ensure all children are accessing lifesaving HIV services. Thank you for supporting the fight for an #AIDSFreeGeneration!
Today, I led a resolution with @RepBarbaraLee to recognize the U.S.’s commitment to ending pediatric HIV/AIDS worldwide and to support HIV/AIDS prevention through continued research and assistance. Together, we will end this epidemic.

Much thanks to @cnbcafrica and @TabithaTmuthoni for putting a spotlight on HIV funding gaps and actions African governments should consider as they think about domestic financing for HIV this #WorldAidsDay2024 - it was a pleasure to join the show!
[IN CONVERSATION] Over two decades, the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (@PEPFAR) has invested over $110 billion, saving 25 million lives and transforming healthcare systems in Africa. However, with concerns rising about declining global financial support, Africa faces a pivotal moment to sustain progress through innovative financing and increased domestic investments. CNBC Africa's @TabithaTmuthoni spoke to @CatConnorGlobal, Vice President of Public Policy and Advocacy at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (@EGPAF), to explore how investments are shaping the continent’s fight against HIV/AIDS.

Good to see @PeterASands on stage talking about children, the @GlobalFund should be doing more to combat the inequities facing children in the #HIV, #TB and #malaria responses

We are stronger together! Collaboration and coordination mean better outcomes for children worldwide, something we should all want #BetterMeds4Kids

Solution 2⃣: Strengthen coordination! The fragmented landscape of #paediatric drug innovation often neglects parts of the product life cycle. 💪Let’s align efforts, track needs, and ensure seamless funding streams to accelerate access to #BetterMeds4Kids 🔗bit.ly/4dRynTo

No one is more #ProudOfPEPFAR than @RepBarbaraLee - PEPFAR’s impact is undeniable, and not finishing the job on HIV & AIDS is inexcusable.
PEPFAR has saved 25 million lives. Today, I offered a motion to break the right-wing blockade and extend PEPFAR for five years. We must finish the job we started and end the HIV & AIDS pandemic for everyone, everywhere.

(1/3) @WHO has declared #mpox a public health emergency of global health concern. What does this mean for the children and families in countries where EGPAF works?

It’s a whole of society effort to protect our children’s health - well said, @MagdaNRobalo. “We cannot be tired, we cannot run out of ideas” @Egpaf @Chip_Lyons #AIDS2024

Following the money! Interesting to see how @PEPFAR @GlobalFund invest in programs for children and youth, but also significant amounts of domestic resources too…. Great research from @childrenandHIV #AIDS2024

Putting this on the top of my “must do” list for tomorrow at #AIDS2024 tomorrow. If we don’t understand the investment gaps in pediatric & adolescent #HIV service delivery, we can’t advocate for what is truly needed. #reachallchildren
Our Satellite @AIDS_conference: Fixing Your Finances: Improving Resourcing to End AIDS in Children is fast approaching. Understand the investment gaps and opportunities through data that shows what’s needed to end AIDS by 2030. bit.ly/AIDS2024 #reachallchildren #AIDS2024
