Unitaid is a high-performing global health initiative which drives faster and better access to new medicines, diagnostics and preventive technologies for people affected by COVID-19, HIV/AIDS and HIV co-infections, TB and malaria in lower- and middle-income countries.

Since 2006, Unitaid has collaborated with the UK government to accelerate access to innovation, tackling the most pressing global health challenges in the 'big three' diseases (HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria), and in areas beyond, including fever management, cervical cancer and access to oxygen. The launched Strategy for 2023-2027 leverages Unitaid’s distinctive comparative advantage — as a pathfinder, investor, and influencer — and will maximize the impact of their interventions.
