GSK launches “Positive Action for Children”
Share
This morning, GlaxoSmithKline announced a new initiative to help prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV and to support orphans and vulnerable children. Called the “Positive Action for Children” fund, it’s been created with $80 million to be made available over 10 years.
In addition to this, the fund will also include “£10 million seed funding to support a Public Private Partnership into research and development of new HIV/AIDS medicines for children.”
You can read more about the Fund here.
