[George(s) Lessard]

Global videoconference on HIV/AIDS, Malaria & TB at the African Union 
Summit July 10, 2003  

This is an attempt to bring together African heads of state and their 
international partners to seal a joint commitment in scaling up 
action against diseases that are major health, economic and social 
problems throughout Africa. The meeting will be open to be debated 
worldwide, from sites in Africa, Europe and the US, and broadcast 
internationally using the latest videoconferencing technology.  

More than 20 sites in Africa will be able to view the videoconference 
live and a global audience can follow the proceedings live on the 
internet. WorldSpace radio will broadcast it throughout Africa, the 
Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, and rebroadcasts will be done by 
the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association, with TV programming 
throughout Mozambique and Brazil.  

The event will be webcast on the internet via http://www.ihn.info on 
July 10 from 12:30-3:30pm British Summer Time.  For further 
information, see the IHN website: http://www.ihn.info or the Exchange
