University Teaching Hospital Generally Managed the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Funds and Met Goals in Accordance with Award Requirements

摘要

The Tom Lantos and Henry J. Hyde United States Global Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Reauthorization Act of 2008 (P.L. No. 110-293) (the Act) authorized $48 billion in funding for the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) program for the 5-year period beginning October 1, 2008, to assist foreign countries in combating HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. The Act requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Office of Inspector General (OIG), among others, to provide oversight of the programs implemented under the Act, including PEPFAR. To meet this requirement, HHS OIG has conducted a series of audits of organizations receiving PEPFAR funds from HHS, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We selected the University Teaching Hospital (the Hospital) for review. The objective of our review was to determine whether the Hospital managed PEPFAR funds and met program goals in accordance with the award requirements.
