US EditionHealth advocates urge Carney not to delay pledge for UN Global Fund fighting AIDS, TB
ONTARIO, CANADA, JUL 21 – Health advocates warn funding delays risk reversing progress against HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria despite Canada contributing nearly $5 billion to the Global Fund since 2002, saving 65 million lives.
- Health advocates urge Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to promptly pledge funding for the UN Global Fund fighting AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria as part of its eighth replenishment this year.
- This call follows a pattern of Canada historically stepping up, having contributed nearly $5 billion since 2002, while some nations reduce foreign aid amid growing global health pressures.
- The fund supports preventable illnesses in developing countries and estimates saving 65 million lives, yet delays in support threaten progress as other countries cut funding.
- Justin McAuley from the ONE Campaign emphasized that Canada needs to act quickly to support global health efforts and save lives, while the government expressed optimism about contributing to a successful Global Fund replenishment.
- The situation implies that Canada’s timely commitment is crucial to maintain gains against infectious diseases while global health faces pressures from conflicts, climate events, and recovery from COVID-19 setbacks.
