Global Fund money will bolster West African nation’s health systems and fund treatment
International health funding giant the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced on 15 March that €102 million (US$110.6m) worth of grants has been allocated to Mali, with more investment on the way.
In a public statement, the fund said medical services in the central and northern regions of Mali are under strain due to security threats, and much of the country’s healthcare depends on humanitarian aid and non-governmental organisations.
