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.

Indiscriminately turning lifesaving foreign aid programs off & on then off again is unconscionable. Bureaucratic & legal maneuvering shouldn’t overshadow the mothers + children who need our help and can no longer get it @EGPAF #GlobalHealthCantWait https://t.co/zbhhK83ZND
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!
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.

Take a listen if you like compelling storytelling & tales from the newest generation of advocates and activists fighting to end #HIV & AIDS @EGPAF https://t.co/Q3SZY7DgVT
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
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 🔗https://t.co/CuME9tkg22
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
Have you ever asked yourself if health systems are designed to work for women and children?? Come to this @EGPAF session in an hour dig into this topic with @Chip_Lyons, @pepfar, @WHOAFRO and more! #AIDS2024
@CatConnorGlobal from the @EGPAF spoke about the latest #HIV and #AIDS conference, and the work that still needs to be done to curb incidences of HIV worldwide https://t.co/CXdJCMh6IZ
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. https://t.co/M5NHrug8PC #reachallchildren#AIDS2024
