Global Health Fund Says Health, Climate, Conflict ‘Triple Whammy’ Hits World’s Poorest

Climate change and conflict risk overshadowing efforts to improve people’s health, when in reality the issues overlap, Peter Sands, head of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, said.
He was speaking in London ahead of Thursday’s release of the Global Fund’s 2024 report covering its work last year, which showed improvement in tackling the three diseases after COVID-19 knocked efforts off course.
