The Global Fund's decision to cancel grants will reverse the huge gains made in combating Aids, TB and malaria. It just doesn't make sense, either morally or economically.

This World Aids Day we have some reason to celebrate: fewer people are contracting HIV. This year the World health organisation reported that increased access to HIV services resulted in a 15% reduction of new infections over the past decade and a 22% decline in Aids-related deaths in the last five years. The tide of the epidemic is turning, and huge gains have been made in treatment, care and support.
But the world risks complacency on three of our most deadly diseases: HIV, TB and malaria. The gains made on HIV have been overshadowed by the decision last week by the Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria to cancel all new funding for the three diseases until 2014. A similar disregard for health spending has been demonstrated by world leaders gathered in Busan this week to discuss aid effectiveness, indicating that developments at the Global Fund are symptomatic of a wider trend for global leaders to take their eyes off the ball with respect to health.
The Global Fund has for the first time in its 10-year history cancelled funding in its next round and suspended grants to life-saving projects and services because of a failure by donors to meet their commitments.
At the 25th meeting of the Global Fund's board in Accra, Ghana, last week, it voted to cancel all plans for new grant-making until 2014. Two billion dollars is needed to pay for all requests for funding up to 2014.
This is devastating. The fund is the life-blood of HIV, TB and malaria prevention, treatment and care in the developing world. It is the source of no less than 80% of all TB funding, three-quarters of funding for malaria and half of HIV and Aids funding – it is the second biggest funder of HIV and Aids after the US president's emergency plan for Aids relief.
This could sound the death knell for any hopes we had of reaching the millennium development goals on health by the 2015 deadline.
The case for transforming the Global Fund into a sustainable response to the three diseases is a powerful one; this is not in question. Pressure has been coming from donors in response to the fund's own transparent reporting of misuse of monies and corruption by recipients. The fund has reacted robustly, quickly commissioning an independent body to assess its financial controls.
Recommendations from this high-level panel on fiduciary controls and oversight mechanism were focused on evolving the fund from an emergency response to a more sustainable aid one.
But is it right to have a sustainable response that will effectively mean the end of countless projects in the developing world, the loss of countless lives?
In a small country facing major health challenges such as Burundi, the impact could prove catastrophic. The Burundi national TB programme is almost entirely funded through early grants from the Global Fund and was slated to apply for renewal funding next year. Other countries set to apply for new funding to continue expanding Read more

While wishing him a speedy recovery, India's middle-order batsman Virat Kohli on Sunday said that he was not aware of Yuvraj Singh's illness and was surprised by reports about the left-hander recuperating from a "non-malignant tumour" in his lung.
Yuvraj's mother, Shabnam Singh, made the revelation in a formal statement on Saturday.
"We didn't have an intimation about this thing that came up. I was pretty surprised to know that this was the problem. I personally didn't know this was the problem.
"I was very surprised and I wish him a speedy recovery. All of us wish well for him and he is such a dear member to the team," Kohli said.
Yuvraj had declared himself unavailable for the one-day series against the West Indies because of the illness and was also not picked for the Test series in Australia.
A golf-ball size lump has been found over Yuvraj's left lung, according to his mother.
Kohli, who was picked at Yuvraj's expense for the third Test against the West Indies, silenced his critics with fifties in both innings.
The Delhi player thanked Sachin Tendulkar who advised him to stick to his natural game.
"I spoke to Sachin Tendulkar for about half an hour in the practice session before the game (Mumbai Test). I explained to him what (my) mindset was in the West Indies, how I put myself under too much pressure, how I became too cautious.
"He helped me out immensely. He asked me not to change myself just because I am playing Test cricket," Kohli told 'NDTV'.
Kohli was naturally satisfied with his performance in the third Test, especially after a none-too-impressive outing in the West Indies.
"It's pretty satisfying. To be honest, I didn't have a great outing in the West Indies, and it was more of a disappointment for me as well as people who had expected a lot.
"I mean this was one format where I really wanted to make a dent. This is just the beginning. It really feels nice to have contributed in the one game I got in the series, and (am) looking forward to Australia," he said.
Asked if he would target any particular bowler in Australia, Kohli responded in negative.
"We have seen all of them, played all of them. There is no particular bowler who can be targetted because they all are quality bowlers Read more
