International News Blog: Emanuel, Goosby Address CUGH MeetingSeptember 18, 2009 The Infectious Diseases Center for Global Health Policy's "Science Speaks" blog addresses special White House health policy advisor Ezekiel Emanuel's comments about President Obama's Global Health Initiative (GHI) at the Consortium of Universities for Global Healths (CUGH) annual meeting. Emanuel said that "[k]ey components of the GHI will be promoting program integration, developing sustainable infrastructure, placing a strong emphasis on maternal-child health, requiring hard outcomes and prioritizing cost-effective interventions. Another aim is to integrate global health programs with development programs and food assistance" (Lubinski, 9/15). In a separate post, the blog reported on U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Eric Goosby's address to the conference. According to "Science Speaks," Goosby "spent most of his short talk underscoring two concepts that dominate this Administration's discussions of global health: sustainability and integration." He also spoke about integration and healthcare workforce challenges in developing countries (Lubinksi [2], 9/15).
