Freezing #USAID funding to Uganda's health sector is telling 100s of HIV patients to die because they can't afford ARTs. USAID donates more than $500,000,000 to Uganda's health sector every year, we are looking at more than 15,000 job cuts due to this freeze @cnn.com 🙏🏿 @larrymadowoo.bsky.social

This is what US President Donald Trump's action of suspending foreign aid means to developing countries like Uganda. Trust me, this is just the tip of the iceberg, the effects are going to be devastating and far reaching.
