Through the Global Fund, for example, to which Canada announced an increased contribution recently, 2.8 million individuals living with HIV/AIDS currently receive treatment; 7 million people have received treatment for TB; and 142.4 million malaria drug treatments have been delivered.
Through the WHO “3 by 5” initiative, to which Canada contributes as well, we helped facilitate three million people receiving treatment for HIV by the end of 2007. Through the global polio eradication initiative, another one to which Canada contributes, they've succeeded in reducing the number of annual polio cases by 99%. Through the GAVI Alliance, between 2000 and 2001, immunization programs have averted an estimated 4.4 million deaths in developing countries.
I have one last one, the Global Drug Facility. This has supplied more than 60 million patients in 100 countries with TB treatment.
These are examples of areas in which the types of intervention that are supported are producing results.
