Last week, on the sidelines of #UNGA79, The Global Fund and Clinton Global Initiative brought together 35 of the world's most influential thought leaders, private sector partners, longtime supporters of global health, and new voices to discuss partnerships and financing needed to support global health solutions. Peter Sands and Dr Chelsea Clinton led a conversation that highlighted the critical role of the private sector in global health, emphasized the importance of public-private partnerships, and demonstrated the opportunity for unprecedented impact. Ahead of the Global Fund's 8th Replenishment in 2025, the role of the #privatesector and #philanthropy is more important than ever to ensure the Global Fund can continue to do life-saving work. We thank our longtime partners and supporters (RED), The Rockefeller Foundation, Foundation S, Skoll Foundation, Green Climate Fund, foode, Align Social Impact, Goals House and many others for an insightful discussion. We look forward to continuing this important conversation and turning it into #Action. Join us at The Global Fund!
