Commissioners begin mapping the route from AIDS to sustainable health

Some of the world’s most prominent leaders, thinkers, and activists in the AIDS response are convening this weekend in Lilongwe, Malawi for two days of dialogue focused on defining the role of the AIDS response in the post-2015 agenda. The Commissioners, participating in the first meeting of the UNAIDS and Lancet Commission: From AIDS to Sustainable Health will also identify lessons learned from the AIDS response for the future of global health and development.

“Today we have the tools we need to confront and overcome AIDS and confine it to the history books where it belongs,” said President Joyce Banda of Malawi and Commission co-Chair. “We are at a crucial point and must seize the opportunity before us. We must take action now.”
