UN-BACKED FUND NEEDS $87 BILLION TO FIGHT HIV/AIDS, TUBERCULOSIS AND MALARIA
New York, Apr 10 2013 1:00PM
United Nations representatives and international donors today wrapped
up discussions on how to finance an estimated $87 billion needed by
the UN-backed Global Fund to bring under control the global threat
posed by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria during the 2014-2016
period.

"If we don't seize this moment, we will be dealing with these diseases
for generations," Mark Dybul, Executive Director of the Global Fund to
fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria,
<"http://www.theglobalfund.org/en/mediacenter/newsreleases/2013-04-10_Global_Fund_Partners_See_Chance_to_Dramatically_Alter_Course_of_Diseases/">said
on the second of a two-day conference with donors and other partners
in Brussels.

"These moments don't come very often. We can achieve a historic change
in the world and that is what we are on this planet to do," Mr. Dybul
added.

According to a needs assessment by the Global Fund and partners, the
fight against HIV/AIDS alone will cost some $58 billion in 2014-16,
with additional $15 billion for tuberculosis and $14 billion for
malaria.

The assessment was drawn up with technical partners at the UN World
Health Organization (WHO), UNAIDS, Roll Back Malaria and the Stop TB
partnership.

In addition to the needs assessment, delegates at the meeting heard
presentations on new advances in science and implementation that can
increase the impact of Global Fund investments to support partners
fighting the three diseases.

Health officials also showed how a big increase in impact could be
achieved in many countries by focusing efforts on "hot spots," where
disease is most heavily concentrated, and by acting before diseases
spread out of control.

Forecasts presented to the conference showed that, with adequate
funding, more than 18 million adults eligible for treatment could be
on antiretroviral therapy by 2016, up from 8 million now; that almost
6 million people could be saved from TB; and that 196,000 more lives
could be saved every year from malaria.

In December, the World Health Organisation warned that funding for
prevention and control of malaria – which kills an estimated 655,000
people every year and sickens millions more – has levelled off after
rapid expansion between 2004 and 2009.

In a statement accompanying the release of its annual World Malaria
Report, the UN health agency said, "These developments are signs of a
slowdown that could threaten to reverse the remarkable recent gains in
the fight against one of the world's leading infectious killers."
