September 23, 2009 ***MEDIA ADVISORY*** Top U.S. Government Officials, Leading South African Physician/Scientist to Discuss Global Tuberculosis Epidemic and the U.S. Policy Response Washington, D.C. —Two of the U.S. government's top infectious disease specialists will join with renowned South African physician Robin Wood for a live interactive webcast on the threat of TB in the developing world and the U.S. response to it, including the status of a Congressionally mandated five-year global TB strategy.
Dr. Wood will share his perspective gained from working at the epicenter of the HIV/TB epidemic, as director of the Desmond Tutu HIV Centre at the Institute of Infectious Diseases and Molecular Medicine, University of Cape Town. Dr. Wood's latest research focuses on the deadly intersection of HIV/AIDS and TB in his home country and the shockingly high rates of TB infection among South Africa's children.
