WITH Africa, IN Africa: Ensuring Access to Life-Saving HIV/AIDS Treatment.


This side event will examine the urgent need to ensure continuous and equitable access to life-saving HIV treatment across Africa, particularly in the face of evolving funding challenges, fragile health systems, and persistent barriers to care. Guided by the principle of "With Africa, In Africa," the discussion will highlight the importance of local leadership, community-based responses, and sustainable international partnerships in advancing the HIV response.

Despite significant global progress in HIV prevention and treatment, access to life-saving antiretroviral therapy (ART) remains uneven, particularly in parts of Africa and other highly affected regions. Fragile health systems, funding constraints, conflict, stigma, and disruptions to treatment delivery continue to prevent many people living with HIV from receiving consistent care. Recent challenges affecting international HIV/AIDS assistance programmes have further underscored the need to safeguard treatment access and strengthen the resilience of health systems.

Side event organized by the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Djibouti, Permanent Mission of the Kingdom of Eswatini, Permanent Mission of the Federal Republic of Germany, Permanent Mission of the Republic of Malawi, Permanent Mission of the Republic of San Marino, Office of the Permanent Observer of the Sovereign Order of Malta.

Location: 405 E 45th St, New York, NY 10017, USA
