Australia will contribute $266 million over three years to the seventh replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, progress in the fight against HIV\/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) and malaria has gone backwards for the first time in two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Indo-Pacific, TB poses particular challenges and in some regions, drug resistance is growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
HIV\/AIDS is an ongoing burden on key populations and malaria remains a serious health challenge, disproportionately affecting children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia\u2019s record investment will support the Global Fund\u2019s efforts to end HIV\/AIDS, TB and malaria by 2030, including in the Indo-Pacific region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia will continue to provide direct support to the countries of the Pacific and Southeast Asia on all aspects of infectious disease prevention, treatment and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia\u2019s contribution to the Global Fund was announced at a replenishment conference in New York on 21 September 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new commitment represents a ten per cent increase on Australia\u2019s previous contribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia provides more than $600 million in health-related Official Development Assistance each year, excluding extraordinary assistance for COVID-19 responses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
