World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported1m ago
The Gauteng Department of Health in South Africa announced the arrival of 28,593 new Lenacapavir initiation packs to alleviate a temporary shortage of the HIV prevention medicine. High demand had previously caused supply constraints across certain areas in the province.
The newly arrived stock is currently being distributed to 133 healthcare facilities. This rollout supports the ongoing regional expansion of access to Lenacapavir, which functions as a six-monthly, long-acting injection for HIV prevention.
