HARARE – HIV and Aids patients are being left to die in Zimbabwe.
There are critical shortages of anti-retroviral drugs and even condoms.
Doctors Without Borders blames this directly on US President Donald Trump’s USAID and PEPFAR cuts.
It says the progress made over the years is now being unravelled.
The health ministry has revealed an increase in the number of HIV-related deaths since January.
And the numbers will inevitably rise if alternative sources of funding are not found.

Well, Well. Don’t blame Trump for Zimbabwe not being able to take care of their HIV patients. Zimbabwe has the natural resources to take care of all its citizens adequately. Instead, Zimbabwe has let China take all the natural resources. And Zimbabwe expects America to continue pouring ais into the country. Think again. I live in America, and I know that the American citizens agree with Trump. It is time for Zimbabwe to wake up and take care of their own citizens. NO MORE HANDOUTS Zimbabwe
I can understand some countries needing international assistance, but with the vast resources available in Zim, the only explanation is that those resources are benefiting only the elite who are pocketing the proceeds.
