The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria today welcomed a $340 million contribution by Japan, the highest amount that Japan has ever made in 10 years of vigorous support for the Global Fund. Japan is now making its first payment of US$ 216 million for its 2012 contribution.
"Japan has always been a leader in the fight against disease, but this is a great vote of confidence in our commitment to saving lives," said Gabriel Jaramillo, General Manager of the Global Fund. "We recognize Japan's determination to see real advances in global health, and we are equally determined to deliver." (sacbee.com)
