With access to HIV treatment at record highs and climbing, new infections falling, and recent scientific breakthroughs being put into practice, the spirit in Addis should have been one of hope and optimism. Instead, attendees saw what new research on financing for global health released yesterday confirms: unless we change course, a public health catastrophe looms directly ahead.
