No laila e hoʻololi mākou i kā mākou pane e kōkua i nā ʻāina e hoʻoponopono i ka maʻi maʻi ma o ke kākoʻo kūpono a mākaukau no ka wā e hiki mai ana.

Kākoʻo € 100 miliona i ke komo ʻana i nā mea hana COVID-19: diagnostics, therapeutics a me ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i nā ʻōnaehana olakino. Me ka €50 miliona i hoʻoneʻe hou ʻia no ke kumu like, ua manaʻo ʻia kēia kākoʻo e pili ana i ka € 150 miliona i ka huina ma o ka COVID-19 Response Mechanism of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.

E hoʻohana ka Fund i nā kālā no ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana a me ka pane ʻana i ka maʻi maʻi, e kōkua ana e pale i ka hana hou ʻana o ka hopena olakino a me ka socio-economic o COVID-19 i ka wā e hiki mai ana.
Ua hōʻoia hou ʻo Pelekikena von der Leyen lāua ʻo Pelekikena Biden i kā lāua kūpaʻa i ka US-EU Agenda for Beating the Global Pandemic, Vaccinating the World, Saving Lives Now and Building Back Better, i hoʻomaka ʻia ma ka hui mua COVID-19 i Kepakemapa 2021. ʻōlelo, wehewehe lākou i ka hui pū ʻana o EU - US a me nā pahuhopu i kaʻana like i nā wahi o ke kaulike kano a me nā pana i nā lima; hoʻoikaika i nā kaulahao hoʻolako honua a me ka hana ʻana; ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hoʻolālā palekana olakino honua; ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no nā mea hoʻoweliweli a me nā pilikia e hiki mai ana; a me ka noiʻi a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana no nā kano hou, nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā diagnostics.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- the challenge now is to accelerate the roll-out and uptake of vaccines on the ground, and to respond to other needs of the COVID-19 response, including therapeutics, diagnostics, and health systems.
- Together with the €50 million recently mobilised for the same purpose, this support worth €150 million in total is intended to be channelled through the COVID-19 Response Mechanism of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
- The Fund will leverage funds for pandemic preparedness and response, helping to avoid a repetition of the devastating health and socio-economic impact of COVID-19 in future.
