In November 2023, Friends of the Global Fight released a new analysis, The Global Fund’s Unique Contribution to Universal Health Coverage and Stronger Health Systems. The report explores the Global Fund and its role in Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by looking at the partnership’s work in 10 distinct health systems areas.  It reviews the Global Fund’s overall approach in each area and provides numerous country examples.

On UHC Day 2023, Friends will host a global webinar to discuss the report’s findings and its implications for health policy, health systems strengthening and UHC.  The webinar will include an overview of the report, a panel discussion of experts and Q&A with the audience.

Panelists will include: 

Sarah Boulton, Global Health Funds Team Leader, Global Funds Department, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, United Kingdom

Rob Hecht, President, Pharos Global Health Advisors

Shunsuke Mabuch, Head of Resilient and Sustainable Systems for Health (RSSH) and Pandemic Preparedness and Response Technical Advice and Partnerships, The Global Fund
