MSF warns that donors are disengaging from the fight against HIV/AIDS leaving behind millions who are still in need of treatment
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has warned that donors are disengaging from the fight against HIV/AIDS leaving behind millions who are still in dire need of lifesaving treatment in South Africa and other hard-hit Sub-Saharan African countries.

The organisation, which supports the care and treatment of more than 160 000 people in 27 countries, states that continued donor support will enable people living with HIV/AIDS to continue receiving treatment, warning that a reversal will lead to excessive loss of life.

In its report entitled ‘No time to Quit MSF's Analysis from Eight Countries’, reveals that the donor disengagement was starting to become visible in the field and the level of HIV care was beginning to deteriorate.
