The Ghana HIV and AIDS Network (GHANET) has raised concern over a major setback in Ghana's fight to eradicate HIV/AIDS by 2030, following the suspension of United States of America (USA) government funding through USAID.

Speaking during an Easter HIV screening and sensitisation event held at La Pleasure Beach in Accra on April 21, 2025, Ernest Amoabeng Ortsin, President of GHANET, described the US "stop work" directive as the most significant hitch currently facing HIV/AIDS efforts in the country. "This has been a major blow to us as far as funding is concerned," Ortsin stated.

He explained that Ghana was already grappling with declining donor support and limited government funding, which had put the country at risk of missing global targets set by UNAIDS.

Ortsin emphasized the urgent need for the government to honor its 2025 Budget promise to allocate more resources to the health sector.
