US think tanks push ahead on proposed health security fund. ‘Last thing health ministers need,’ says Global Fund chief

In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, US think tanks want Congress to back a new USD 1-billion global health security fund. The Executive Director of the Global Fund Peter Sands expresses strong opposition to the idea. The global health space is already “over-complicated” and a new fund is “the last thing health ministers in low-income countries need,” Sands says to Development Today.
