$130 M Grant To Fight Aids, Tuberculosis
India has got the largest single-country grant in Asia of $130 million to fight HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis from the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
In the second round of funding finalised in January, the country was given $100 million to prevent HIV/AIDS and $30 million to fight tuberculosis.
The hike in support to AIDS programmes is in recognition of the rapid spread of the disease in the country.
