answer text <p>As of December 2014, Global Fund programmes have supported 8.1 million people with HIV to access antiretroviral therapy and have detected and treated 13.2 million cases of tuberculosis (TB).</p><br /><p>Given the links between TB and HIV, DFID supports the Global Fund’s requirement for countries heavily burdened by the two diseases of TB and HIV to put forward unified and integrated applications for joint programming.</p><br /><p>Initial evidence from a recent independent review of the Global Fund’s strategy indicates that the Global Fund’s joint TB/HIV programming has enabled greater communication across disease-specific stakeholders. The Global Fund now needs to harness potential synergies and work towards greater joint service delivery to achieve maximum impact across these diseases.</p><br /> more like this
