UNFPA South Africa is on the ground today alongside President Cyril Ramaphosa, Health Minister Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, and the Department of Health for the historic national launch of Lenacapavir!
This groundbreaking, twice-yearly injectable is a massive step forward for HIV prevention, especially for adolescent girls, young women, and vulnerable key populations. UNFPA is proud to partner with the South African government to ensure that expanding healthcare choices means leaving no one behind.
