Secretary Clinton’s Speech About the Global Health Initiative
Eighteen months ago, the Obama administration unveiled a $63 billion Global Health Initiative (GHI) to save millions of lives by expanding current programs and improving health systems in developing countries. The GHI, which has become a centerpiece of the Administration’s foreign policy, provides increased funding for HIV/AIDS, malaria, maternal and child health, family planning, neglected tropical diseases, and other critical health areas. On October 16th Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave a speech at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies outlining what the GHI hopes to accomplish.
