AIDS Corps

Jul 8, 2004

Here’s a brilliant idea:

A well-respected health advisory panel called Wednesday for a large-scale effort, akin to the Peace Corps, to battle AIDS worldwide.

The Institute of Medicine issued a new report calling on international aid organizations and governments to take prompt action to help developing nations deal with the epidemic of AIDS and HIV, the virus that causes it.

That from an AP story about the IOM report Scaling Up Treatment for the Global AIDS Pandemic: Challenges and Opportunities.
