<p>The UK is a proud supporter of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. We
are the second largest donor to the Sixth Replenishment, pledging up to £1.4 billion
for 2020 - 2022 to fight HIV, TB, and malaria and support health systems, contributing
to achievement of universal health coverage and Sustainable Development Goal 3 of
“Good Health for All”. We support the Global Fund’s swift action to allow countries
to re-programme or use savings from their current grants, and their rapid creation
of the COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM), which together have created up to £1 billion
of flexibility for countries to respond to COVID-19 and its impacts on HIV, TB, malaria,
and health systems.</p><p>This Government has already pledged up to £764 million of
UK aid on responding to COVID-19 and we are taking our leadership role in global health
very seriously. We are using UK aid to its full effect to counter the health, humanitarian,
and economic risks and impact of this pandemic in the developing world. We will continue
to consider all options for our future support.</p>
