African countries are failing to win the war against malaria, HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis, the African Union (AU) plans to tell the continent’s leaders on Tuesday. A report to be presented to AU leaders says insufficient progress has been made in combating disease despite major increases of financial support from the Global Fund, World Bank and Western countries. Limited capacity and underdeveloped health systems, it notes, are largely to blame for the "slow progress" made by governments in this respect.
