In March 22, 2011, the U.S. government officially handed over a wide range of materials in support of the USDF’s efforts to combat [[HIV]]/[[AIDS]], which included 7 prefabricated medical facilities supporting the Soka Uncobe male circumcision campaign. In all, the materials handed over at the ceremony and those that will be arriving in the future are valued at over E 12.5 million. Representing the [[United States]] Government were Charge d’Affaires Craig Cloud, joined by Dr. Anne Thomas of the U.S. Department of the Defense, and in a speech given by Cloud, it was noted that "if the Soka Uncobe campaign is successful in circumcising 152,000 men during 2011, it could prevent 88,000 people from getting infected with [[HIV]] and save the government and the people of Swaziland E 4.5 billion in medical treatment costs."<ref>{{REFnews
