President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni met and held discussions with Mr Peter Sands, the Executive Director of the Global Fund at State House-Entebbe.
The Global Fund is an international organisation created in 2002 as an innovative financing mechanism seeking to rapidly raise and disburse funding for programs that reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria in low- and middle-income countries.
Adding to the President's submission, the Minister of Health, Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng outlined the four key areas for potential procurement, including Antiretroviral Drugs for HIV treatment, rapid diagnostic tests for malaria and HIV, long-lasting insecticidal nets and medical gloves. On the other hand, President Museveni articulated Uganda's economic progress through phases, underscoring the nation's transition towards diversification and the expansion of its money economy.
Mr. Sands reciprocated the commitment assurance, expressing the Global Fund's willingness to collaborate with local markets to ensure the supply of essential medical supplies while addressing cost-cutting considerations, market competitiveness, and tendering issues. "With a cumulative investment of $2.9 billion and a forthcoming $700 million investment over the next three years, the Fund focuses on combating prevalent diseases and addressing unique challenges such as mosquito resistance and HIV/AIDS prevention," he informed the President.There was a problem processing your submission.
