The PAHO Revolving Fund marries economics and public health to protect people against some of the world’s worst diseases, including polio, measles, yellow fever, rotavirus, and human papillomavirus, to name just a few.
By buying in bulk, the Fund greatly improves its purchasing power. In other words, it takes advantage of economies of scale.
Through the fund, 41 countries and territories pool their resources to procure high-quality vaccines, syringes, and related supplies for their population at the lowest price.
