More than seven months overdue, the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria grant will finally be released to key South African AIDS organizations that have been struggling to survive. Some were on the verge of shutting down.
The Global Fund released US$7,106,426.91 to the South African National Treasury on 6 February, the same day seven of the grant’s sub-recipients delivered an open letter to Minister of Health, Aaron Motsoaledi, pleading for intervention to bring the Fund’s “life-threatening delays” to an end.
