Donors pledged $11billion at the #GlobalFund #8thReplenishment. It’s a welcome start, but it’s not enough, falling short of the $18billion goal. Read AVAC’s statement to learn what’s at stake and why donors who have yet to pledge must close the gap. avac.org/press-releas...

"This is...unprecedented to see an innovation in #globalhealth move this fast to [LMICs]. Obviously very small supplies, really just a down payment, but they're the 1st of what we think to be many doses in these 2 countries & in other countries." - Mitchell Warren
