 Side event by the Global Fund: “The Champions of Global Health” - Speech by Mr. Bernard Kouchner, Minister of Foreign and European Affairs

"At the end of the 1990s, in the countries in the South, getting AIDS meant being condemned to death. The very idea of providing treatment that would allow AIDS victims, wherever they might be, to survive was impossible. Treating those affected was impossible.

As you know, France led the way in this struggle by implementing the first International Therapeutic Solidarity Fund in 1998. This was proof that access to treatments for the three pandemics, AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis was not only a moral duty, but also an achievable objective."
