On January 11, French President
@emmanuelmacron announced the launch of the sixth replenishment for the
@globalfund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria. The announcement calls for countries to honor their commitment to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3), “Health and Well-Being for All” by collectively pledging at least $14 billion USD. ⠀
⠀
A $14B price tag is undoubtedly a lot of money. But if countries fully fund the ask, a robust replenishment would mean:⠀
- 16 million lives saved between 2021-2023.⠀
- HIV, TB, and malaria deaths decline to 1.3 million, a reduction of nearly 3 million people (compared to rates in 2005).⠀
- 234 million infections or cases averted, a 42% reduction across the three diseases (relative to 2017 levels).⠀
