Malawi President Peter
Mutharika said Thursday the country had received a grant of US$332 million (€292
million) to fight AIDS and other diseases, bringing much-needed support
to a nation wrestling with public health problems. Malawi has one of the
highest HIV prevalence rates in the world, straining the impoverished country's
healthcare system and economy.
Mutharika
accepted the grant from international aid organization The Global Fund in
Lilongwe, Malawi's administrative capital.
