President of the Ghana HIV and AIDS Network (GHANET), Mr Ernest Orstin, has raised alarm over Ghana's heavy reliance on the Global Fund to sustain its HIV programmes, warning that the situation poses a grave threat to the thousands of people receiving treatment.
He expressed concern that the Global Fund, which provides critical support for medication and prevention efforts, might not always be reliable, putting lives at risk.
He made the assertion over the weekend during an HIV and AIDS awareness walk organised by his outift in collaboration with the Ghana Health Service (GHS) ahead of the World AIDS Day marked every December 1.
Stressing the urgent need for sustainable financing, he called on the government to establish and fund a National HIV/AIDS Fund.
