On March 6th, Care4CVD Togo launched, a crucial project combating NCDs in Togo, where they account for 41% of deaths.

Dr. Touré and Dr Barboza (IntraHealth), Dr. Tafam Eunice (Sanofi), and Pr. Belo (NCD Division) highlighted the project's importance. Pre-launch discussions with Minister Darré and Dr. Diallo (WHO) secured vital support.

I too have heard of Lesotho, the beautiful Kingdom in the sky with the most spectacular views. In fact, I spent close to 7 years working there with the American government, supporting the government of Lesotho to tackle TB and HIV for its citizens. I share my love of this country with Prince Harry, who has done amazing work with young people there and who continues to visit often speaking up for the most vulnerable communities. I love Lesotho for its warm and welcoming people, and for its pride in the Basotho culture and its resilience in tackling and overcoming the devastating effects of the HIV epidemic. Lesotho was one of the countries to reach 90-90-90 targets despite having one of the highest HIV epidemics in the world. Their leadership has been highly flexible in adopting innovative approaches and in program implemention, made sure no one was left behind. I personally am really proud of the part l played in getting Lesotho where it is today and would like to say to my beloved family and friends in Lesotho, we see you, and you matter! #lovelesothoanditspeople

Abruptly terminating the vast majority of foreign assistance programs in just 30 days, without meaningful consultation with Congress, is a reckless decision that dangerously undermines America's influence and interests. There is still time to reverse course and align with Secretary Rubio’s directive for a foreign policy that makes America safer, stronger and more prosperous. Immediate action is necessary to prevent irreversible damage to our global standing and to ensure that our foreign policy continues to reflect our nation's values and strategic interests.
