The number of HIV/Aids-related deaths in Kenya has dropped by more than half over the past decade, driven by strengthened local interventions and lifesaving antiretroviral (ARV) treatments, which are partly funded by the Global Fund.

New data by the Global Fund shows that Aids-related deaths in Kenya have fallen by 64 percent, from 58,000 in 2010 to 21,000 in 2024. This decline reflects the country’s success in expanding access to ARV treatment and improving care services, highlighting the positive impact of the billions invested in the sector by the Global Fund.
