GHESKIO Wins 2010 Gates Award for Global Health


GHESKIO, an institution in Haiti founded nearly three decades ago to fight HIV/AIDS, has been awarded the prestigious 2010 Gates Award for Global Health for its years of groundbreaking clinical service, research, and training to effectively treat and prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and other related illnesses. The group is led by Jean W. Pape, M.D., Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College and a Haitian native, who has advanced AIDS patient-survival rates and treatment adherence rates that rival those of the most advanced hospitals and clinics in the United States and Europe.
