We are ensuring better healthcare for refugees - particularly for vulnerable groups including children.

My department has been working on preparedness measures for the monsoon and cyclone season in Bangladesh since December, working with several other agencies.

The UK is the second largest funder of HIV prevention, care and treatment, and has pledged up to £1 billion for the 2014-16 replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. Half of Global Fund resources are used to tackle HIV and almost 60% are invested in programmes that reach women and children.</p><p>The UK puts the empowerment of girls and women at the heart of everything we do.
