You know it's urgent when 24+ organizations raise their voices in unison with one question: will Canada step up? 🇨🇦📢

As countries turn inward, it's time for Canada to ambitiously support the @GlobalFund to End AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria's 8th replenishment and #WinTheFight against the world’s deadliest epidemics. Canada can help #Save23MillionLives but we need to act now ❗️

7 years ago 🇨🇦 led the Charlevoix #G7 with historic support for girls' education in crisis. @MarkJCarney: as #G72025 host, we must lead again with a bold new commitment.

"Tuberculosis is caused by us. It's caused by choices that we make. It's caused by human-built systems".

Thank you @johngreen for reminding us that we hold the power. We can choose a world where no one dies of this curable disease. Let's choose that world. #YesWeCanEndTB

[Stop TB Canada @StopTBCanada]

“We can choose a different world. We can be the cure for TB.” @johngreen joins @TheCurrentCBC to reflect on how TB continues to devastate lives due to human-built systems - and how we have the power to change that.

📢 BREAKING NEWS 📢

Today, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of International Development announced $675 million for @Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance! 🎉 And boldly stated that "Canada remains firmly committed to investing in international assistance, because there’s clear evidence that it’s the right thing to do, and the smart thing to do, to build a healthier and more prosperous future for the next generation"

The global fight for equitable access to lifesaving vaccines is one of the most important causes of our time and it is being threatened by the cuts to international assistance from the US and other actors. But Canada will not turn its back on the world.

After months of our volunteer advocates and partners urging Canada to invest in global immunization, we are thrilled about this significant investment in a healthier, more prosperous world #ForOurFuture. It will help vaccinate 500 million children and prevent up to 9 million deaths by 2030 as well as support equitable access to healthcare for marginalized communities and prevent future infectious disease outbreaks.

This investment from Canada also addresses gender equity challenges. For instance, Gavi will protect millions of girls from human papillomavirus (HPV), a leading cause of cervical cancer – a cancer that could be ELIMINATED through access to immunization. #InternationalWomensDay

We are proud that Canada has stepped up as a global leader with this important contribution. Thank you to Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau, Minister @HonAhmedHussen, and everyone who helped make this happen!

When lives are at stake, the @GlobalFund is the lifeline. HIV, TB and malaria are preventable and treatable – but still deadly for millions. The Global Fund partnership is enabling communities and countries to strengthen health systems to save lives. #Save23MillionLives
