New appropriations bill would restore a majority of US global health spending.
“Global health programs emerge as relative winners, retaining more than $9.4 billion in total funding. Of that, approximately $3.5 billion is allocated for general global health programs, including child survival, immunization, nutrition, public health, and more. The bill report specifies that $300 million of that funding should be directed to Gavi. An additional $5.88 billion is provided to HIV prevention, treatment, and control, including a $1.25 billion contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.”
May be a decent time to contact your congress people in support of this part of the appropriations bill.
