Abstract

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria recently launched an open consultation seeking ideas to inform its next strategy for 2023. A key question posed in this consultation process is, "If there were one thing you would suggest the Global Fund do differently what would it be and why?" For us, the answer is to make mental health an integral part of the strategy to end these epidemics.
