GLOBAL HEALTH
AND THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS
In 2019, we celebrated something that we had been working on for many years: Spain´s return to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, the largest international body for funding the fight against pandemics. Spain’s return came after nearly a decade’s absence and at an important time, just before the Global Fund´s fundraising conference and after warnings from the international community that funding to combat AIDS and other pandemics was stagnating, risking the enormous progress made in the last decades and potentially preventing the fulfilment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, which set out to end these diseases as a global health problem by 2030.
