Alliance for Public Health, along with 250 other community and civil society organizations from around the world, sent an important letter to the European Commission. We are calling on Commissioner Jozef Síkela and EU leadership to renew and increase their commitment to the fight against HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria by pledging €800 million to The Global Fund.
The European Commission has always been a vital partner in this fight. Their role has been crucial—from co-founding the Global Fund to stepping up with a €715 million pledge during the COVID-19 crisis, which helped save countless lives. This contribution is a testament to true leadership.
The fight continues, and we are grateful for every step taken in this direction. Even in the face of potential aid cuts that could threaten hard-won gains, we understand how important decisive leadership is right now.
Today, we urge Jozef Síkela, Ursula von der Leyen, Hadja Lahbib, and Marta Kos to continue standing with us in this incredibly important mission.
