The South Asia Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), cordially invites you to participate in a conference titled, “India 60: The HIV/AIDS Epidemic – Building Bridges to Health and Development” on February 6, 2008, from 9 A.M. till 4 P.M.
CSIS’s Task Force on HIV/AIDS has been working with health policy makers and geostrategic thinkers to help the U.S. government craft an effective and sustainable response to the epidemic. It is co-chaired by Senators Russell Feingold and John Sununu, and includes prominent medical, business and scientific participants. The task force aims to build bipartisan consensus on critical U.S. policy initiatives and promote U.S. leadership in strengthening prevention, care, and treatment of HIV/AIDS in affected countries.
This conference is an outgrowth of our work over the past four years on U.S. policy toward HIV/AIDS in India. We believe it is important to give the Washington audience an up-to-date assessment of India’s efforts to fight the epidemic, and a sense of how India’s work fits into the larger context of building public health and encouraging economic development.
In case you have any questions, please contact Vibhuti Haté or Jeffrey Ellis in the South Asia Program. They can be reached via email at vhate@csis.org / jellis@csis.org , by phone at 202-775-3184/ 3124 and fax on 202-775-3199.
