Describing PEPFAR as "a targeted approach on a large-scale and with accountability for results," U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator Ambassador Eric Goosby on Tuesday said the program has done more than fight HIV/AIDS, having had a "broader transformational impact ... on the health sector" in many countries, VOA News reports (De Capua, 7/10). Goosby delivered the keynote address at a Health Affairs briefing titled, "Assessing The President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief: Past Achievements And Future Prospects For PEPFAR," according to a State Department video of his remarks (7/10). The July 2012 issue of Health Affairs "examines the origins of [PEPFAR]; the lessons learned from implementation; the successes achieved in terms of human health and well-being; and the opportunities that now exist to lay the groundwork for an 'AIDS-free generation,'" the Health Affairs Blog states (Fleming, 7/10).
