Alliance for Public Health was glad to contribute to and support this powerful new publication, developed by Action Santé Mondiale / Global Health Advocate.
The paper addresses a deeply concerning trend: the growing influence of extremist, anti-rights movements and isolationist policies that are threatening access to healthcare for the world’s most marginalized communities — and undermining decades of progress in global health and human rights.
The data is sobering. The consequences of reduced global cooperation — particularly in funding for HIV, TB, malaria, and immunization — could result in:
- 1.65 million more lives lost due to lack of HIV treatment
- 500,000 preventable deaths due to lack of vaccine access
- Over 600,000 additional deaths from TB and malaria
- Grounded in real-life testimonies, field data, and frontline analysis, the report explores how health and rights are inextricably linked — and why we must act now.
The upcoming Global Fund replenishment presents a unique opportunity to reaffirm the intrinsic link between health equity and the protection of human rights. We call upon the European Commission to demonstrate its leadership in health and justice by pledging €800 million for the Global Fund’s eighth replenishment—a decisive act reflecting the EU’s foundational values.
