King Holmes, the William H. Foege Chair of Global Health who heads the recently established ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Department of Global Health, is featured in a new ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøTV program, HIV: In Your Global Neighborhood. In his lecture, Holmes discusses the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s training, education, research, and public health efforts to improve health around the world. The program will be airing in February, and is available now on the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøTV Web site.
Holmes’ talk was part of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍøorld Global Lecture Series, a series of panels on the topic of global health, called A Just Cause: Bringing Health Care to All. Holmes is introduced by William H. Gates, Sr., co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and a ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø regent.
In the talk, Holmes highlights the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s contributions to many of the efforts to fight AIDS/HIV around the world, including the Tumaini Project, a clinic in Nairobi, Kenya, providing free medical care for patients with HIV; the International Training and Education Center on HIV (I-TECH), a consortium for training health care workers in countries affected by HIV and AIDS; and Health Alliance International, an organization that builds public health programs in the developing world.
