STATEMENT BY HHS SECRETARY TOMMY G. THOMPSON
Regarding the Gates Foundation's Contribution of $100 Million to the Global Funds on AIDS and Health
"I commend the Gates Foundation for their generous contribution to the global fund to combat the spread of infectious diseases. Coupled with earlier commitments from the United States, other countries and private companies, this signals that this fund will truly be a public-private partnership to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS and diseases throughout the world." ###
