Issued on:
Around $14 billion has been pledged by governments, businesses and philanthropists for the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria over the next three years. FRANCE 24 brings you special coverage in this edition of Eye on Africa.
Most of the $14 billion pledged is destined for the African continent, where millions of people have died from these epidemics.
Our guests include Zolelwa Sifumba, one of the faces of the Global Fund’s Initiative. She is a doctor from South Africa who contracted multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Éric Fleutelot, technical director of the Major Pandemics unit at Expertise France, also joins us on the set.
