After years of remarkable progress, increasing drug resistance and funding shortfalls have slowed the fight against HIV, TB and malaria. The Takeda Initiative is a 15-year partnership with the Global Fund. Launched in 2010, our first phase* boosted malaria prevention in Tanzania with the distribution of mosquito nets, accelerated access to TB treatment in Kenya, and expanded HIV services and awareness in Nigeria. Starting in 2020, we are focusing on improving maternal and child health and supporting efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage by integrating quality HIV, TB and malaria services in antenatal and postnatal care in several priority countries in Africa.
