NEW: The Global Fund Result Report 2015

[Esther Agbarakwe]

 

Yesterday, The Global Fund issued a Results Report, showing that health investments made through the Global Fund have saved 17 million lives, expanding opportunity and achieving greater social justice for families and communities worldwide. Even better, the report shows that advances in science and innovative solutions are accelerating progress at an ever faster-rate, getting us on track to reach 22 million lives saved by the end of next year.

 

The Results Report 2015 delivers a summary of the impact and results the Global Fund partnership was able to achieve by 2015, showing cumulative progress since the Global Fund was created in 2002. It is a collective effort, combining the strong contributions made by governments, civil society, the private sector and people affected by HIV, TB and malaria.

 

Here are the cumulative highlights:

17 million lives saved; on track to reach 22 million lives saved by the end of 2016. A decline of one-third in the number of people dying from

HIV, TB and malaria since 2002, in countries where the Global Fund invests

8.1 million people on antiretroviral treatment for HIV, 13.2 million people have received TB treatment, 548 million mosquito nets distributed through programs for malaria
