The Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria selected Nafsiah Mboi of Indonesia to be its next Board Chair and Mireille Guigaz of France as its next Board Vice-Chair. Both will begin a two-year term starting in late June, 2013. Dr Nafsiah Mboi is the Minister of Health for the Republic of Indonesia. She has more than 40 years of experience in national and global public health, including a full career as a civil servant in the Ministry of Health. Madame Guigaz most recently served as France’s Ambassador for the fight against HIV/AIDS and communicable diseases, representing France on the Board of the Global Fund, a position she also held in the early days of the Global Fund. She has served on the Board’s Strategy, Investment and Impact Committee and its Audit and Ethics Committee, as well as on the Boards of UNITAID and Roll Back Malaria. Dr Nafsiah and Mme Guigaz will serve in a personal capacity. In their new roles, they will represent the interests of the entire Global Fund, instead of representing their home country. Dr Nafsiah and Mme Guigaz were selected by unanimous electronic vote by the Board on 18 March 2013.
