Uganda pledges USD 3 million to the Global Fund.

Uganda Represented by the Vice President has announced a USD 3m pledge, and committed to  Uganda's continuous alignment with the Global Fund so as  to end  pandemics.

This was during the Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment Pledging Conference convened by the US President Joe Biden.

The  target is to raise at least US$18 billion, a minimum required to get the world back on track toward ending HIV, TB and malaria.

It will also be used to build resilient and sustainable systems for health and strengthen pandemic preparedness, making the world more equitable and safer from future threats.

Vice President Jessica Alupo accompanied  by Health Minister Ruth Aceng  and Uganda's Permanent  Representative to the UN attended the summit.

Alupo Says Uganda recognizes the  need to increase support for this Replenishment by at least 30%.

The Global Fund’s Seventh Replenishment is the world’s opportunity to rise to the challenge and take bold action to protect everyone, everywhere from the deadliest infectious diseases.
