South Africa's health Minister has told a US Media house, the US government's sudden decision to axe funding for HIV programmes is a wake-up call for the country.
Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, responding to US termination notices issued late on Wednesday, said the cuts could lead to deaths, but he had instructed state-funded clinics to ensure no patient went without life-saving drugs.
There is chaos as many affected organisations scramble to find alternative help for some 900,000 HIV patients by the end of the day.
