On March 4, 2025, Peter Sands, Executive Director of The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund), met with FGFJ’s Advisory Board to present the Investment Case for the Global Fund’s 8th Replenishment. The Investment Case outlines how a fully funded Global Fund could save an additional 23 million lives between 2027 and 2029, reduce mortality from these diseases by 64% compared to 2023 levels, and build stronger health and community systems to fight new outbreaks and pandemics.
During the meeting, Mr. Sands expressed his appreciation for Japan’s intellectual, political and financial leadership in global health. He acknowledged Japan’s long-standing support for the Global Fund and its continued promotion of universal health coverage (UHC) as the world works together towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on health.
