A Healthier, Safer, and More Prosperous World
Report of the CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy ATLANTA (March 18, 2010) - Today, the CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy released its final report, "A Healthier, Safer, and More Prosperous World," which details a long-term, strategic U.S. approach to global health that builds on successes of the past decade and aspires to help poor countries realize a healthier, more self-sufficient future. 

The report calls on policymakers to embrace a five-point agenda for global health – a mutually reinforcing set of goals to achieve U.S. ambitions and partner country needs: 

1. Maintain the commitment to the fight against HIV and AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis;
2. Prioritize women and children in U.S. global health efforts;
3. Strengthen prevention and capabilities to manage emergencies;
4. Ensure the United States has the capacity to match our global health ambitions;
5. Make smart investments in multilateral institutions.

For the past year, CARE President & CEO Dr. Helene D. Gayle has proudly co-chaired the CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy that is comprised of 25 diverse opinion leaders, including members of Congress, business and media leaders, former high-level national security officials, non-governmental organization executives, philanthropists and health experts.
