The #WHA78 this year has a different tone - but the global health community is slowly moving away from agonizing over the US aid loss & moving into organizing to #ENDAIDS, secure #HIV prevention & #integration with Frontline AIDS an integral part in this transition period.

This session has shown the determination of African leadership to achieve nationally-led #UHC, mobilise domestic resources for health. We acknowledge the important role of civil society in #HIV prevention & health. We should not forget to keep communities @ the center #WHA78

Dr Aaron Motsoaledi, Minister of Health for South Africa, speaks to how #UHC is a priority for SA as "we can not afford not to make sure we can domestically fund the #HIV response". The Global Fund investment compliments national work to build a stronger health system #WHA78

The Education as a Vaccine Nigeria exhibit showed how young people are born into a world of opportunity & technology, but are denied access to #HIV self tests or long acting PrEP due to the age of consent & legal restrictions. Young people should have the right to decide about #HIV prevention

What a privilege to speak @ the #IAS2025 on ensuring that communities & civil society are included in transition & sustainability discussions if we want to build a resilient national health system. Community-led #HIV prevention needs to remain a core priority & be funded.
