'Cut to Gavi's funding to impact our ability to protect children'
May 05, 2025
|Hindustan Times Gurugram
Professor José Manuel Barroso, chair of the board of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, spoke to HT about his India visit and the nature of India-Gavi partnership.
NEW DELHI: He also looked back at Gavi's 25-year-old journey; and the changes he foresees in Gavi's role in helping countries in the future; and the impact of US threatening to pull out as a contributor.
How would you rate Gavi's journey so far?
Over the past 25 years, Gavi has been impactful, immunising over 1.1 billion children, preventing 18.8 million deaths, and halving child mortality in 78 lower-income countries. We also bolster global health security through health system support and vaccine stockpiles for Ebola, cholera, meningococcal and yellow fever vaccines.
What impact do you see of US pulling out as a contributor on Gavi's functioning?
