<p>The UK Government is committed to remain a world leader in tackling global diseases
like malaria.</p><br /><p>In the recent Spending Review we announced the Ross Fund,
which will provide £1 billion to support research and implementation to tackle malaria
and other infectious diseases. This will be one part of DFID’s balanced portfolio
of investments in malaria control, delivered through bilateral and multilateral channels,
support to health systems and service delivery and support to research.</p><br /><p>The
UK has pledged a contribution to the Global Fund for AIDS, TB and Malaria of up to
£1 billion between 2014 and 2016, subject to a 10% donor share cap. This will dramatically
improve the lives of millions of people, saving approximately 580,000 lives by preventing
8.4m new malaria, HIV and TB infections. Our future contributions to the Global Fund
are being considered as part of the Spending Review.</p><br /><p>We will lay out further
investment plans in the future.</p>
