South Africa’s eyes autonomy after PEPFAR cut
South Africa aims for self-reliance in healthcare after the Trump administration withdrew PEPFAR funding, which had provided $8 billion over 20 years to address the country's HIV/AIDS crisis. The funding cut, part of diplomatic tensions between South Africa and the US, has forced Pretoria to allocate 750 million rand as a stopgap measure, significantly less than previous annual support.
