Ambassador Goosby Discusses Budget, Partnership Frameworks, and New Role for AIDS Activists

Science Speaks posted and interview with Eric Goosby.
Thoughts, news and analysis from the staff of the Infectious Diseases Center for Global Health Policy on the latest developments in tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.

Dr. Eric Goosby, the US global AIDS ambassador, spoke with John Donnelly about a number of issues surrounding PEPFAR and the Obama administration’s new Global Health Initiative, including how the administration hopes to ramp up treatment and prevention efforts with small increases in overall funding and how PEPFAR is constantly responding to emergencies in the field – including the move in December to give the South African government $120 million after the country had an unexpected funding shortfall in nine provinces.
