Dr. Vanessa Kerry on the future of global health funding

The future of global health financing is on the line. At a moment of devastating foreign aid cuts, we are also standing at a once-in-a-decade opportunity to chart a better path. As leaders meet in Seville for the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) we call for bold action: 📈 Invest in whole health systems, not just vertical, disease-specific programs 🏥 Align behind country-led plans — designed by governments to meet their people's needs ✅ Fund one national budget and one set of metrics to drive coordination, impact, and accountability The payoff? Stronger economies. Less forced migration. Greater global security. A healthier, more just world — for everyone.
