4. U.S. Global Health Initiative Health Needs Are Great More than 2.6 million people are infected with HIV each year, and AIDS is the leading cause of death of women of reproductive age around the world. Malaria kills 800,000 people every year, mostly children under age five, with an estimated 250 million more cases annually. More than 9 million people develop TB every year, and 1.7 million die from this disease. More than a billion people suffer from neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), and 500,000 die every year from these diseases. 358,000 women die annually from largely preventable complications related to pregnancy or childbirth; millions more women suffer often debilitating pregnancy-related injury and infections. 215 million women want to avoid pregnancy but are not using a modern method of contraception, and two-fifths of all pregnancies in the developing world are unintended. 8.1 million children under five die every year, many from easily treatable or vaccine-preventable conditions or malnutrition; 40 percent of them die during their first four weeks of life. 200 million children under age five and 1 out of 3 women in the developing world are undernourished.

Build sustainability by strengthening health systems. Strengthen and leverage key multilateral organizations, GH partnerships and private sector engagement because improving health outcomes is a shared responsibility. Increase impact through strategic coordination and integration to strengthen health delivery platforms and systems. Improve metrics, monitoring and evaluation.

10. U.S. Global Health Initiative Vision for the Future We will focus squarely on achieving our targets and diminish our focus on internal supporting processes. Our targets are ambitious, but achievable. We will focus specifically on country- level discussions about achieving targets rather than more abstract discussions about what can or can’t work. We will focus more externally – “whole of America” approach
