Kenya: Global Fund Grants $414mln to fight AIDS and Tuberculosis
Thursday, 16 January 2020 10:02
The Global Fund has granted Kenya KSh42 billion (about $414.3 million) to scale up the fight against AIDS and TB. The money will finance the HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria prevention activities in the country and help strengthen the health system over 2021-2024.
The institution, however, recommends that the government should ensure that additional efforts are made to care for vulnerable people, including addressing gender inequality and improving access to health care for poor people.
Figures by UNAIDS show that Kenya has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the world, with 1.6 million people infected with the virus in 2018.
