The United States Government, through the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Caribbean Regional Program, has handed over life-saving antiretroviral drugs to the Ministry of Health.
Valued at USD$250,000, these drugs will support people living with HIV/AIDS in Trinidad and Tobago.
U.S. Chargé d’Affaires, Dave Schnier, in donating the medication to Health Minister, Terrence Deyalsingh, at the Ministry’s Port of Spain office said, “This donation reiterates the United States’ enduring commitment to support public health and to support people living with HIV/AIDS.
In a media release on Friday afternoon it said the donation also reflects the strong and robust partnership between the U.S. government, the Ministry of Health, and the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
It is our unified and shared goal to attain epidemic control and surpass the UNAIDS 95-95-95 goals.”
