Discussion panel on universal access to treatment for AIDS, TB, and malaria


Discussion panel on universal access to treatment for AIDS, TB, and malaria

This is at a talk I was able to attend one evening during the conference. Stephen Lewis is at the far left of this photo.

Both Lewis and Dr. Richard Feachem (Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria) have a critical message about the widening gap between money raised for the fund and the current and future needs (they need BILLIONS, and the Gates Foundation's $500,000,000 is just a start of what they need).

Please click here to watch the webcast - these gentlemen can make the case far more eloquently than I can.
