NEW YORK CITY \u2014As part of ONE\u2019s work in the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, Bono, U2 lead singer and cofounder of ONE, met today with Japanese Prime Minster Abe to discuss the dramatic progress that has been made in the fight against killer diseases thanks to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria.<\/p>\n
Bono thanked the Prime Minister for Japan\u2019s leadership in this fight and for the country\u2019s strong support for the Fund. The next few months are a critical period for the Fund, as world leaders must decide by December what their funding levels will be for the Global Fund over the next three years. Since its inception in 2002, the Global Fund has supported programs that have put 5.3 million people on life-saving AIDS medication, provided 340 million bed nets to fight malaria and treated 11 million new TB cases.<\/p>\n
Bono said:<\/p>\n
\u201cJapan\u2019s leadership in global health has helped bring us to a tipping point \u2013 we have the know-how, technology, and experience to defeat AIDS, TB and malaria \u2013 but we need the funding to get there. I\u2019m confident in Prime Minister Abe\u2019s commitment to global health, and that his leadership at this year\u2019s Global Fund replenishment could help get us over the finish line on these diseases.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
