The decision to cut the UK’s contribution to the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a mistake. Hundreds of thousands of deaths that were preventable are now to be expected.
Our support to the Global Fund represents the best of Britain, working with other countries to deliver value-for-money impact. With our funding, the Global Fund made extraordinary progress in the fight against the most prevalent preventable diseases. Millions of lives have been saved, with health systems strengthened across the poorest countries. We are closer than ever to eliminating Aids.
