The Global Fund and the Ministry of Health and Social Services have launched Grand Cycle 7 for the next three years.

With this support, Namibia aims to end HIV/AIDS as a public health threat by 2026, attain HIV epidemic control by 2028, decrease the burden of TB, and achieve zero indigenous malaria cases by 2027.

Since 2004, the Global Fund has disbursed over US$391 million, equivalent to more than N$7 billion.

It has recently approved a three-year Grant Cycle 7 valued at over N$672 million and an additional N$297 million for the COVID-19 Response Mechanism.

Health and Social Services Minister Dr. Kalumbi Shangula officially opened the healthcare center at Oshikango in the Ohangwena region.

With the opening of the prefabricated building structure, funded by the US President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) and the Global Fund, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has worked with the Ministry of Health to turn the site and six others into a healthcare services facility, which is now closer to the people.
