The heads of GAVI and the Global Fund have written a letter to Gordon Brown
and Wolrd Bank head Robert Zoellick seeking an expansion of their mandates
to cover all health MDGs.

The letter was sent to the two co-Chairs of the High Level Taskforce on
Innovative Finance and asks for GAVI and the Global Fund to "refocus on all
of the health-related MDGs as a renewed commitment to meeting the basic
health service delivery needs in poor countries". The letter goes on to
state that both GAVI and the Global Fund are prepared to make this move
promptly if they are given donor support.

The letter has been posted on the web page of the High Level Taskforce on
the IHP+ site.
