According to a November report from Doctors Without Borders, many treatment programs have simply stopped enrolling new patients. "A lot of organizations are told they'll have to keep people on wait lists," says MacLean. "They'll have to ration treatment in a way they haven't had to in the last six or seven years." On Clinton's Africa trip this summer, she met with Nigeria's Minister of Health, who expressed serious concern over the flatlining of funding for PEPfAR...
