Eric Goosby: Partners Can Help Advance Global HIV/AIDS Fight

In a post on the State Department's "DipNote" blog, Ambassador Eric Goosby, the U.S. global AIDS coordinator, highlights recent findings that help reduce the risk of HIV transmission. He writes, "In order for us to fulfill the promise of these findings, we will continue to foster shared responsibility among all parties. We will continue to work with our partners in national and local governments, enabling them to create the policies and systems that allow innovations to be rapidly implemented and scaled up at the country level. We need to work with ministries of finance and other donors to coordinate and complement financing, so that we get the maximum life-saving impact for every dollar spent. And we will continue to make sure that these efforts build upon and help to strengthen the health systems that deliver care in the developing world" (7/16).
