GENEVA, Feb 28 (KUNA) -- The State of Kuwait on Friday delivered its voluntary donation worth USD 500,000 to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
The fund director general, Peter Sands, met during a ceremony for receiving the Kuwaiti donation with the State of Kuwait Permanent Representative to the United Nations and International Organizations in Geneva, Jamal Al-Ghunaim.
The talks touched on health conditions in many countries "where we work," said Sands during the ceremony, organized at headquarters of the State of Kuwait mission.
Sands warned that appearance of coronavirus in countries known for spread of HIV, Malaria and Ebola will lead to repercussions similar to those that had been seen with the Ebola virus eruption in West Africa.
For his part, Ambassador Al-Ghunaim has re-affirmed Kuwait's support for the fund to help it fight TB and Malaria. (end)
