The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps he is taking with the Global Fund to (a) help tackle emerging global health threats and (b) ensure sustainable health systems.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

The FCDO engages regularly with the Global Fund to monitor and drive progress against its mission and UK priorities, including global health security and sustainable health systems. The Global Fund is the world's largest grant funder of health systems, investing approximately $3.7 billion a year. This also supports countries to better tackle emerging global health threats, alongside the Covid-19 Response Mechanism. The Global Fund Strategy 2023-2028 sets out a clear ambition to do more to strengthen health systems and explicitly recognises the role the Fund plays in pandemic preparedness and response.
