More Than 500 People March in Nairobi to Demand Donors Keep Their Promises

Like these demonstrators, MSF calls on the Global Fund and donors to immediately raise the resources necessary for the minimum lifeline the Fund has extended to countries otherwise facing disruptions this year, as well as providing a new regular funding opportunity.

“Ten years ago, there was a landmark decision to support the roll out of HIV, TB, and malaria prevention and treatment in countries that couldn’t completely support programs on their own,” said Dr. Jennifer Cohn, of MSF Access Campaign in East Africa. “MSF has been part of the effort over the last decade to treat patients, introduce new treatments, and develop simple ways to deliver them. We have seen the positive impact of the Global Fund and other international health initiatives on individuals and communities, with deaths and sickness plummeting.”
