The Gates Foundation will give $912 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, philanthropist Bill Gates announced Monday as he urged governments to reverse global cuts to health funding.
Speaking at a Reuters Newsmaker event in New York, Gates said the world was at a crossroads, with millions of children at risk of dying if funding drops too steeply.
The Gates Foundation’s pledge matches its donation in 2022.
That was the last time the Global Fund, a Geneva-based independent nonprofit, raised money on its three-year budget cycle.
The announcement follows deep aid cuts from governments around the world, led by the United States.
