"Today’s announced breakthrough funding for advanced market commitments is the product of incredibly hard work by the Gates Foundation, in particular, and also by contributing governments. For the Finance Ministers gathering in Essen today the test now is how hard they will work to keep to their aid commitments. Promised G8 aid levels will help finance the health systems needed to deliver the vaccines produced by these advance market commitments," said Jamie Drummond, executive director of DATA.
