Health Action AIDS Campaign Advisor Sends Letter Regarding PEPFAR Reauthorization to Congressional Leaders

HAA Advisor, Dr. Wendy Johnson (© PHR)

As a physician and as an advisor to the Health Action AIDS Campaign at Physicians for Human Rights, I would like to commend the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for your work on PEPFAR reauthorization. My work in Africa has given me the opportunity to see the impact PEPFAR has had in increasing access to HIV treatment and care. It is clear that your goal is not only to reauthorize the Act for another 5 years, but to strengthen it and apply lessons learned in its first 5 years.
