Health systems and community health systems are essential to achieving universal health coverage. They help ensure that everyone has safe, equitable access to prevention and treatment services. Within this framework, the Global Fund supports and includes communities at every stage of the HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria responses.
Following efforts to initiate and expand antiretroviral therapy in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria has, over the past decade, focused on financing the delivery of HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria prevention services. These efforts include diagnostic strategies, referrals to health services, and, specifically for HIV, access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). The GF has also invested in strengthening national health systems through Community-Led Monitoring (CLM).
