Egypt

Egypt has been a recipient country of the Global Fund since 2004 and has been disbursed over US$28 million for HIV, TB and malaria.

According to UNAIDS 2016 statistics, there are about 11,000 people currently living with HIV in Egypt. The Ministry of Health and Population reported in 2020 over 13000 Egyptians are living with HIV/AIDS. In 2020, incidence of tuberculosis for Egypt was 11 cases per 100,000 people. Incidence of tuberculosis of Egypt fell gradually from 25 cases per 100,000 people in 2001 to 11 cases per 100,000 people in 2020. Egypt had eliminated malaria, and until now, the last locally transmitted case was in 1998.

Egypt is part of the Global Fund’s Debt2Health program which  converts debt repayments into lifesaving investments in health. Since the inception of Debt2Health in 2007, ten implementing countries – Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, El Salvador, Egypt, Ethiopia, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – have invested nearly US$232 million in domestic health programs through the Global Fund as of September 2021. In return, Australia, Germany and Spain have canceled debt in those implementing countries.
