Leveraging innovation to fight HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria in Mozambique — a photo story

Children with tuberculosis at Maputo Central Hospital will soon be able to receive the child-friendly TB treatment developed by the TB Alliance and its partners with funding from Unitaid. The new formulation is soluble, fruit-flavoured, and affordable. Before Unitaid’s investment, children around the world did not have access to appropriate TB medicine. As a result, caregivers often had to cut or crush tablets intended for adults. Imprecise dosing frequently led to continued illness.

A high-level Unitaid delegation visited Mozambique in September 2017 to see first-hand how the innovations it is funding in HIV testing, TB treatment and malaria prevention are making a difference in the lives of adults and children on the ground.

A new look for Unitaid

This week we launched our new logo – an abstract, contemporary hummingbird in flight – to express Unitaid’s quick, agile approach to creating global health solutions. The hummingbird debuts along with our new website and our tagline, “Innovation in Global Health”.

The visual changes underline Unitaid’s mission – to fund interventions that have a catalytic effect, preparing the way for other partners to adopt and scale up innovative health products or approaches. A bird in flight embodies our work to find scaled-up solutions that take a big-picture, strategic approach.

The hummingbird’s pointed beak, wingtips and tail suggest bold, courageous focus; its motion represents active, catalytic change; and the shifting colors of its wings convey the transformation Unitaid strives to bring about.

Check out the animation below to see the Unitaid hummingbird take flight.
