Congratulations @SaniaNishtar. @gavi plays such a vital role in expanding access to vaccines. The organization —and the people it serves—will benefit greatly from your extraordinary experience and background.

Rich discussion of the multiple factors that interact in the 'triple threat' facing AGYM Do we need to reframe prevention as self care? Do we need a whole of society response? #ICASA2023

The @PEPFAR program's exemplary bipartisan leadership & sustained investment in HIV/AIDS is among the brightest examples of US leadership globally. CIGH Director @CharlesBHolmes joined 30 leaders calling for its immediate reauthorization by Congress.
Today, 30 organizations and individuals joined us in signing a joint letter to call on Congress to reauthorize the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (@PEPFAR ). The program has saved 25 million lives and supports democracy around the world – it must continue. 🚨Check out the full letter: bushcenter.org/pepfarletter

#MichaelGerson's words have inspired & re-inspired many of us who have spent our professional lives fighting the global #HIV pandemic. I love his powerful description of @PEPFAR's impact: "A lost generation, unexpectedly returned. A found generation." washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
