Global Fund To Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis And Malaria

EDM number 1007 in 2015-16, proposed by Virendra Kumar Sharma on 26/01/2016.
Categorised under the topics of Diseases and International development.

That this House welcomes the contribution that the Global Fund to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria has made to tackling these three epidemics since its creation in 2002; notes that investments from the Fund have saved 17 million lives to date, and led to a one-third decline in deaths from the three diseases in countries where it invests; further notes that investments have put 8.1 million people on antiretroviral treatment for HIV, treated 13.2 million people for tuberculosis and 515 million people for malaria; understands, however, that each year 1.2 million people continue to die from HIV/AIDS, 1.5 million people from tuberculosis and 400,000 people from malaria; recognises the role of the Fund as the principal international financing institution geared towards accelerating the end of these epidemics; further recognises that, in working towards this, the Fund has encouraged effective partnership between governments, the private sector, civil society and people affected by the diseases; notes that international finance is essential if the epidemics are to be ended by 2030, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals; appreciates that donors should commit according to their ability to contribute; further welcomes the leadership that the Government has shown through its contributions to the Fund's previous replenishments and its membership of the Fund's Board; and calls on the Government to continue its support for the Fund by contributing to its upcoming replenishment and pressing other donors to do the same.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
