In some instances, COVID-19 has diverted time, attention and funding away from other challenges. Progress made in the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in Southeast Asia is under threat, so Australia will target $24 million of its investment in The Global Fund to directly support the needs of the Indo-Pacific region. Our region still bears 62% of the global burden of tuberculosis cases. The Global Fund was created to dramatically increase resources to fight three of the world’s most devastating diseases: HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Thanks to this partnership, which brings together diverse stakeholders, 38 million lives have been saved since 2002, including 6 million in 2019 alone.
