PAN has signed on to this letter to Canada’s Prime Minister and encourages our members to consider doing so too. Signatures will be accepted until midday Wednesday, October 8, 2025.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis (TB) and Malaria (the Global Fund) has saved 70 million lives since 2002 and reduced death rates from these diseases by 63%. However, with several donor governments significantly reducing their international assistance budgets, the progress we have made together is at significant risk.
This year is a replenishment year for the Global Fund, and we desperately need to work together to ensure Canada demonstrates its ongoing commitment to global health and security with a bold three-year pledge to the Global Fund. Together, we must call on the Government of Canada to demonstrate its continued leadership in global health and human rights with a pledge of CAD$457 million per year (CAD$1.37 billion over three years) to the Global Fund’s Eighth Replenishment.
With full funding, the Global Fund could save 23 million additional lives and cut death rates from AIDS, TB, and malaria by another 64%.
We invite organizations in Canada and around the world to sign onto this letter to Canada’s Prime Minister to call on Canada to show the leadership the world needs.
