There are more errors in the article Mizzima published last week. Thanks to the Three Diseases Fund for pointing them out.

Any others?

The article said:

“Most of the funding used to come from the Three Disease Fund (3DF), which was established in October 2006, pledging USD 100 million to fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria in Burma over five years. The Fund for HIV/AIDS in Burma, which was established in 2003, finished its work in early 2007 for political reasons.”

And comment from the Three Diseases Fund office:

The Three Diseases Fund well operates up to October 2011, and additional funds are being pledged by donors allowing the launch of a Round III of
grants in order to scale up services for the most urgent cases of distress in HIV, TB and Malaria. There must be a confusion with the FHAM, the Fund for HIV/AIDS in Burma, that indeed closed early 2007, but on due course and not on political ground. The Three Diseases Fund has requested Mizzima to rectify these discrepancies.
