Global Health Leaders Send Letter to Obama

November 20, 2009

The "Science Speaks: HIV & TB News" blog writes of a letter sent to President Obama on Thursday "urging him to maintain robust scale up of AIDS services as part of his Global Health Initiative." The blog, which links to the letter, says, "The missive to Obama comes as the Administration hones a new approach to global health" and "argues we cannot effectively address other health threats by pitting AIDS funding against other health needs, as some in Washington seem to be advocating" (Shesgreen, 11/19).
