"As the federal government works to reform America's beleaguered health system, the State Department's new Office of Global Health Diplomacy is trying integrate the U.S. government's international health aid efforts and help governments in developing countries create sustainable health care funding and care models," Government Health IT reports, highlighting a town hall discussion with Ambassador Eric Goosby, head of the State Department's Office of Global Health Diplomacy and U.S. global AIDS coordinator, at the Kaiser Family Foundation on Thursday. "While poverty, political upheaval and related problems of terrorism remain as prime challenges to the U.S. and other industrialized countries providing sustainable health care aid, Goosby said, multi-institution collaboration, planning and financial management has the potential to help developing countries craft programs around their needs," the news service writes.
