Abstract
Ambassador Deborah Birx is the US Global AIDS Coordinator and in charge of the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the US Government's engagement with the Global Fund. She is also the US Special Representative for Global Health Diplomacy and aligns the government's diplomacy with foreign assistance programmes on global health issues. Speaking to her on the day after the US elections, she was upbeat about PEPFAR's future. “We are very lucky to have an incredible programme that has bipartisan support now and from the beginning. I have been a civil servant for a long time—29 years in the military. I know transition sometimes makes people concerned. This is my sixth one, but there is always something incredibly good that happens. So I am always hopeful and believe both Republicans and Democrats see themselves in this programme and will continue to guide it forward,” she said.
