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

If domestic resource mobilization in Africa for #HIV service delivery is on your mind, this webinar starts in an hour or so….
@AfricaREACH1 @ahfafrica

[Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation @EGPAF]

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!

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

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!

[CNBC Africa @cnbcafrica]

[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

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

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

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

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

[GAP-f @GAP_f_Network]

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

No one is more #ProudOfPEPFAR than @RepBarbaraLee - PEPFAR’s impact is undeniable, and not finishing the job on HIV & AIDS is inexcusable.

[Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) @RepBarbaraLee]

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.

[Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation @EGPAF]

(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?

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

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

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

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

Happening now at the @GFadvocates Networking zone! Come chat with @DevelopedNgo board members ME and @vdjuma!! #AIDS2024

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

Advocates giving it to us straight about the current environment for creating political action. Lots of opportunity but lots of challenges @katiecoester co-chair of the @GappDc moderating this important discussion #AIDS2024 @EGPAF @HIVpxresearch @amfAR @gatesfoundation

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

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

[Catherine Connor @CatConnorGlobal]

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

[Children and HIV @childrenandHIV]

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
