Health Partial Announced
PEPFAR HIV services partially restored by waiver after aid freeze
Limited 'life-saving' HIV services resumed; many PEPFAR activities stayed suspended
Original action
A stop-work order on foreign aid halted PEPFAR operations, sending clinic staff home and cutting off distribution of U.S.-funded antiretrovirals.
- State Department / USAID
- PEPFAR
Reversal
The administration issued a limited waiver for 'life-saving humanitarian assistance,' allowing certain PEPFAR HIV treatment, PMTCT, PrEP for pregnant women, and testing services to resume.
- Mechanism: administrative-action
Notes
The waiver narrowly defined eligible services; programs for adolescent girls, orphans and vulnerable children remained suspended.
