Global Fund seeking billions to continue health aid

From , 3:02 pm on 21 June 2019

For the past 17 years the Global Fund has provided billions of dollars around the world to help overcome HIV, malaria and tuberculosis.

A significant amount of this aid goes into Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and other parts of the Pacific.

Former PNG first lady, Lady Roslyn Morauta, who is a vice chair of the Global  Fund, says since 2002 the Pacific has received about $US366 million dollars in assistance.

The organisation is looking to increase its multi-year, worldwide, funding to $US15 billion and is approaching governments and agencies at the moment with that in mind.

Don Wiseman asked Lady Roslyn who the Fund allocates the money to.
