Mentor mothers are doing wonders in Nigeria too!!!

In northern Mozambique, Mentor Mothers are bringing lifesaving care directly into women's homes during pregnancy and after childbirth to help overcome barriers to accessing health services.

Drawing on their own experiences, Mentor Mothers help women navigate the health system, initiate and stay on HIV treatment, attend medical appointments and access other vital healthcare for themselves and their babies.

So far, The Global Fund investments have trained 441 Mentor Mothers in Mozambique who work across 122 government-run health facilities. Together, with local partners the Mentor Mothers' program supported nearly 34,000 pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV and helped increase treatment initiation among pregnant women living with HIV to 99.7% – helping more babies be born HIV-free.

Great news: A major step forward in the fight against tuberculosis (TB), the world’s deadliest infectious disease. Today, thirteen countries are preparing to roll out a new generation of near-point-of-care (NPOC) molecular diagnostic tests for TB, bringing fast, accurate diagnosis directly to primary care facilities and remote communities.

With support from Children's Investment Fund Foundation and implemented on-the-ground by the Aurum Institute, this Early Adopter initiative driven by The Global Fund will deliver nearly 3 million NPOC TB tests across Bangladesh, Benin, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Peru, the Philippines, South Africa, Uganda, Viet Nam and Zambia.

These small, lightweight, simple-to-use NPOC tests deliver results in under an hour and can help reduce case-finding costs, increase equity and expand access to rapid diagnosis for people who struggle to produce sputum, including people living with HIV.

“By bringing accurate diagnosis closer to communities, we can find people earlier, reduce transmission and close the diagnostic gap that has slowed progress for too long.” Peter Sands, Executive Director of the Global Fund.

*Behind every TB statistic… there is a human story.*

Meet *Mr. Babalola Lateef* , a baker, a provider, and a *TB survivor* .

TB tested his strength, but with the right care and support, he overcame.

*TB is curable. Early testing saves lives.*

If you’ve been coughing for 2 weeks or more,
*get tested. Treatment is FREE.*

*Yes! We can end TB.*

Indonesia has the second-highest TB burden in the world, with about 1 million people falling ill with the disease every year. Drug-resistant TB is a deadly strain that doesn't respond to standard treatment and poses a serious global threat if left unchecked.

But Indonesia is fighting back against drug-resistant TB with a game-changing approach supported by The Global Fund partnership. They're expanding accurate diagnostics, moving treatment initiation from hospitals to local clinics, training specialized TB cadres to support patients, and rolling out a revolutionary 6-month treatment that replaces the grueling treatments that could last up to 24-months.

The results speak for themselves: In just one year, Indonesia scaled up the new treatment, reaching over 80% of eligible patients. This comprehensive transformation is bringing lifesaving care closer to patients and promises real impact in the global fight against drug-resistant TB.

📰 Great news for the TB community: World Health Organization (WHO) has released a rapid communication recommending pooled testing for TB in appropriate settings. We can test people for TB for less than 4 dollars a person? At scale – with no additional investment?🤯

TB REACH has been supporting pooling for 10 years, and we’ve pulled together practical resources, a video demo, slides, and key papers to help programmes and labs roll it out safely and effectively.

As we look back at 2025, The Global Fund Results Report reminds us of the impact of our partnership: 70 million lives saved since 2002 and a 63% drop in deaths from AIDS, TB and malaria in countries where the Global Fund invests.

The report highlights important gains across all three diseases, while also sounding a clear warning: Declining international funding is putting these gains – and global health security – at risk.
