THE Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria was founded in 2002 to help the world's most affected after much deliberation a committee at America's Institute of Medicine proposed a new way to supply artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs). A funding agency could negotiate prices with drug manufacturers and subsidise the medicine at the local level. The ACTs would be available at public facilities and sold by tiny drug shops, in many villages the only source of medicine. Use of older drugs would drop. The Global Fund introduced the Affordable Medicines Facility-malaria (AMFm) in seven African countries and Cambodia in 2010. To date it has spent $463m on the programme. Nevertheless, the Global Fund's board decided to roll AMFm into its general grant process, rather than expand it as a separate programme. Countries may still use it as a way to obtain ACTs, but they must weigh the programme's cost against other priorities.
