Peter Sands

Executive Director of @GlobalFund. Working to end epidemics: AIDS, TB and malaria

[Peter Sands @PeterASands]

Relatively simple, but well executed innovations - in this case a “mini-ATM” TB screening device - can be remarkably powerful in increasing identification of people with TB #TB #Kenya #diagnosis

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

“Josphat discovered he had TB when he stopped at a pop-up screening station on a busy pedestrian bridge over Nairobi Central Railway Station.”

@PeterASands shares his conversation with Josphat & how innovative solutions help find people with TB in #Kenya. https://t.co/0V1COPGx4f

[IAS - the International AIDS Society @iasociety]

The Anti-Homosexuality Act is a grave setback for the HIV-response in Uganda. The science is clear: Criminalizing already marginalized groups has negative public health impacts for the targeted groups & for society at large. The IAS stands in solidarity with the LGBTQ community.

.@WHO joins @UNAIDS, @GlobalFund and @PEPFAR in calling for unconditional and non-stigmatising access to health services for all people in #Uganda. #HealthForAll

[Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy @StateDeptGHSD]

The Anti-Homosexuality Act will reverse the gains Uganda has made in its effort to end HIV/AIDS. @GlobalFund @UNAIDS & @PEPFAR call for the Act to be reconsidered so Uganda may continue on its path to ensure equitable access to health services & end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

Just Released: Joint Statement by the Leaders of @GlobalFund, @UNAIDS and @PEPFAR on #Uganda’s Anti-Homosexuality Act 2023

“The Act will obstruct health education and the outreach that can help end AIDS as a public health threat.”

[Peter Sands @PeterASands]

Deeply concerned about anti-LGBTQI+ Act in #Uganda. Hindering access to lifesaving health services for key populations will undermine effectiveness of @GlobalFund programs, endanger LGBTQI+ individuals & sharpen inequities. We can only achieve #SDG3 by protecting #HumanRights.

[The Global Fund @GlobalFund]

The @GlobalFund is deeply concerned about the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Act – a law that would impede access to lifesaving health services and further marginalize and endanger the LGBTQI+ community. Health is a fundamental human right. We must commit to #LeaveNoOneBehind.
