Global Fund will not cut Guyana’s funding to fight HIV/AIDS

Dr Shanti Singh

Guyana is not one of the countries which will suffer from the cut-back of funding to fight HIV and AIDS, TB and malaria by Global Fund, as it has already received an invitation to apply for money under Phase 2 of the fund’s Rolling Continuation Channel (RCC), Director of the National Aids Programme Secretariat (NAPS) Dr Shanti Singh said.

“We are not one of the countries that would lose funding because we have already received an invitation to apply for funding under Phase 2, and normally invitations are sent to countries which are performing,”
