As the largest financier of HIV, TB and malaria programs in low- and middle-income countries, the Global Fund leverages its scale to secure improved supply terms, ensure supply reliability and foster innovations that are accessible to all. These market shaping interventions make health products more affordable and accessible in low- and middle-income countries.
Our new slide deck and video explore the Global Fund’s unique role in market shaping and how it makes a structural contribution to global health—impacting the procurement, availability and pricing of products in addition to financing their delivery.
For example, market shaping accelerated the development and introduction of dual active ingredient bed nets to combat insecticide resistance and prevent malaria. It also accelerated the transition to a new first-line treatment for HIV, a combination pill called TLD, that has fewer side effects than traditional treatment. The unmatched scale of the Global Fund partnership ensured that these products reached people in need.
Ending the HIV, TB and malaria epidemics is within reach if we improve access to the health tools of today and rapidly scale the innovations of tomorrow.
