Health Desk- 14 March 2020: A new coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
Solidarity Response Fund will raise money from a wide range of donors to
support the work of the World Health Organization (WHO) and partners to help
countries respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The
fund, the first-of-its-kind, enables private individuals, corporations and
institutions anywhere in the world to come together to directly contribute to
global response efforts, and has been created by the United Nations Foundation
and the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation, together with WHO.
“We
are at a critical point in the global response to COVID-19 – we need everyone
to get involved in this massive effort to keep the world safe,” said Dr. Tedros
Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.
The
fund launches with major support already lined up, including from Facebook and
Google who have instituted a matching scheme for funds raised through their
platforms, while individual donors are also supporting the fund through
www.COVID19ResponseFund.org.
“We
can’t ignore the fact that this is a truly global problem – one that requires
truly global solutions,” said Elizabeth Cousens, UN Foundation President and
CEO.
