	tabling member printed	Baroness Suttie
	uin	HL952
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2020 answer text <p>Public investments in research and development have had significant impact across a range of diseases and have contributed to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 3. For instance, UK support has been instrumental in the development of Coartem Dispersible, a child-friendly antimalarial drug. More than 390 million treatments of this life-saving drug have been delivered to over 50 countries since its launch in 2009. This is very likely to have helped reduce the number of deaths from malaria. DFID support also enabled the development of the first paediatric tuberculosis (TB) medicine, which is now available in 93 countries that account for 75% of the global paediatric TB burden.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/02/2020 16:05:12 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

All of UNRWA’s annual reports are published on UNRWA’s website. The Aid Transparency Index is an initiative run by the independent organisation ‘Publish What you Fund’ which selects aid organisations for inclusion based upon its own criteria. The Government has not pressed Publish What you Fund to include UNRWA in its index as we respect its independence and do not seek to influence the index’s coverage.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 29/10/2019 15:29:12 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
