The World Affairs Council of Atlanta, CARE USA, and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) last week held a conference "on how the United States, even in the midst of fiscal austerity and political division, can best advance the world's health," CSIS' "Smart Global Health" blog reports (5/17). According to CSIS, "This Atlanta Summit addresses how the next U.S. Congress and presidential administration can best sustain United States leadership in improving world health, with a particular focus on the role of safe water and sanitation." A new report by the three sponsoring agencies, titled "The Atlanta Declaration: U.S. Leadership in Improving the World's Health," is available online (5/21).
