The Department of State, working with Congress, intends to provide up to $205 million to improve public health data systems, modernize disease surveillance and outbreak response technology, provide access to HIV antiretroviral medications, and scale up access to highly effective HIV prevention interventions. Eswatini will continue to demonstrate its commitment to invest in strategic, catalytic, and innovative healthcare solutions by increasing domestic health expenditures by $37 million during the length of the $242 million MOU. These efforts also include the recently announced delivery of American-made lenacapavir, a breakthrough drug in HIV prevention. The signing places Eswatini on a clear path to achieving the long-term goal of an effective, sustainable, and efficient health system while underscoring a mutual commitment to safeguarding health gains, protecting American and Eswatini citizens alike. The United States will continue to sign multi-year Bilateral Agreements on Global Health Cooperation with dozens of countries receiving U.S. health assistance in the coming weeks to advance the America First Global Health Strategy.
