  • U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a review of foreign aid to ensure projects align with his 'America First' policy, which affected the clinics.
  • The clinics provided essential services, including hormone therapy guidance, mental health counselling, and legal aid, and required about 3 million rupees annually to operate, according to one source.
  • The clinics received a waiver to continue certain life-saving activities, such as providing antiretroviral medication to HIV-infected clients.
