PEPFAR has saved more than 25 million lives and provides funding for AIDS treatment and education programs across Africa and into Asia and the Americas. But the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief faces new uncertainty in terms of long-term financial support. Traditionally funded for five years at a time, the program has recently been funded on only an annual basis. A government scientist under seven presidents, Dr. Anthony Fauci was a leading AIDS researcher in the early 1980s and is one of the architects of PEPFAR. In this episode, he joins health economist Dr. Angela Apeagyei of IHME to discuss the importance of this lifesaving program.
