Why is the Fund Important
Our aim is to strengthen the programs which address the issues of high maternal and child mortality.
For example, certain private sector companies have worked well with the United Against Malaria program, supplying nets to their staff, families and surrounding communities.
Private companies could decide to upgrade and support a local health unit or promote immunisation programs within the communities in which they operate.
Good health care is a responsibility for all.
