The Global Fund is a major player in global health. It provides roughly three quarters of all international financing for TB and more than half for malaria. And it was hoping to raise $18 billion for its three year budget. But on Friday, it announced it only raised a bit more than $11 billion. Part of the shortfall reflects a drop from the U.S. its biggest funder. Their new pledge is $4.6 billion, down from $6 billion in 2022. But given the Trump administration's foreign aid cuts, advocates had feared a greater decrease. Many countries also shrunk their pledges, though several major contributors like France and Japan haven't announced pledges yet. Still, the organization's coffers will likely be less equipped to fight these deadly diseases. Jonathan Lambert, NPR News.
