The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced that 70% of its funding will be spent in 50 of the most climate-vulnerable countries globally over the next three years.
Part of the funding will go towards helping countries develop more resilient health systems through activities like digitizing health records so they don’t get lost during floods and reducing their health risks to climate change.
Peter Sands, executive director of the fund, told Devex that there’s been an increase in countries asking for more support in these areas.
