A New Picture of Health: The Impact of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria

UN Foundation: A film by David Evans with narration by Dr. Jane Goodall

A New Picture of Health,” a 26-minute documentary, examines the work of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria and the impact it has had on saving the lives of individuals, women and children in particular, in the developing world. The Global Fund is a partnership between public and private sector organizations that is committed to distributing resources in order to prevent the spread of and treat current cases of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. Having dedicated over $10.9 billion to its efforts, the Global Fund is the single largest multilateral financing organization for global health in the region of Africa. The film consists of an intensive look at a few of the major initiatives that the Global Fund has taken on and reflects on its work to create healthier and more productive societies. With very compelling clips of some true stories of Global Fund programs in Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Indonesia, “A New Picture of Health” gives a unique look into the work of the UN Foundation.
