GHTC urges Congress to provide additional funding for COVID-19 international response

GHTC joined the Global Health Council (GHC) in urging Congress to provide additional funding to support COVID-19 response efforts in low- and middle-income countries. GHC sent a letter to appropriators signed by GHTC and other partners outlining a top-line ask for global health needs. A detailed supplement shared with the letter included specific recommendations from the global health community, including those from GHTC calling for supplemental resources of US$200 million for the US Agency for International Development to advance COVID-19 innovations for low-resource settings and $200 million to support the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations.
