“You go to the medical ward and now half of the beds are not occupied, before they were mushrooming. A manager came to me, as the Minister of Health, and said “You are bad for business, our funeral business is going down”. There was a time when every weekend we were burying four to eight people, now weeks go by without a funeral.” - Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Minister of Health for Ethiopia Chair of the Board of the Global Fund
