Today, 194 faith leaders called on Congress to sustain $1.56 billion for the Global Fund in FY22 and make an emergency $4 billion contribution to the Global Fund’s COVID-19 Response Mechanism to prevent, respond to and mitigate the impacts of this devastating pandemic.

And to meet that end, confronting COVID-19’s devastating impact on communities and fragile health systems in Africa and elsewhere with immediate supplemental funding is urgent,” the signatories write.
