The bill reauthorizing PEPFAR (PL 110-293) includes a large increase for tuberculosis and malaria programs ($4 billion and $5 billion, respectively), and it authorizes $10 billion for the US contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria over a 5-year period.2 Children experience high rates of morbidity and mortality from both malaria and tuberculosis. In addition, the bill includes important targets for strengthening health care systems, which will benefit primary care generally.
