Les coupes des pays donateurs dans le financement mondial de la santé affectent des millions de personnes

Plusieurs pays donateurs ont réduit leurs engagements envers le Fonds mondial de lutte contre le sida, la tuberculose et le paludisme, créant un déficit de financement de plusieurs milliards de dollars qui menace d’annuler des décennies de progrès et de mettre en danger des millions de vies.

(New York) – Major donor nations dealt a devastating blow to the right to health for millions of people worldwide when they cut support for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Human Rights Watch said today. Only US$11.85 billion has so far been pledged for 2026-2028 of an urgently needed US$18 billion. All but one of the 10 leading donors reduced their pledges.

The Global Fund provides nearly two thirds of all international financing for tuberculosis programs, more than half for malaria programs, and more than a quarter for HIV programs. Since it began in 2002, the Global Fund estimated it has saved 70 million lives. In 2024 alone, the Global Fund said it treated 25.6 million people with HIV and another 7.4 million with tuberculosis.

Human Rights Watch found that global health funding cuts in 2025 have already had a dire impact, especially for marginalized groups that face systemic discrimination and barriers to health care, including men who have sex with men, transgender people, sex workers, and people who use drugs.

Major donors to global health should increase support for multilateral efforts to promote the right to health, rather than follow the United States’ retreat, Human Rights Watch said. “We are witnessing a coordinated abandonment of the world’s most vulnerable populations that will reverse decades of progress against HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria,” Bleckner said.
