On the morning of Wednesday, July 20, we joined members and partners at Parliament Hill to raise awareness of the Global Fund, a worldwide movement to defeat the HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria epidemics and ensure a healthier, safer, more equitable future for all.
Focusing on the devastating impact of COVID-19 on progress in the fight against malaria, we raised awareness of the importance of the Global Fund in strengthening systems for health to build a healthier, more equitable, pandemic-proof world. Learn more here.
