On Tuesday, September 25, 2007 from 1:15 to 2:45 pm, the Permanent Observer Mission of the Holy See Mission, and its co-sponsors, the Path to Peace Foundation and Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) and the University of Notre Dame (Notre Dame, IN), will host a side event at the opening of the 62nd Session of the United Nations General Assembly entitled: Global Health in Focus at Holy Family Hall, 315 East 47th Street, (between First and Second Avenues) New York. This side event will highlight how two world renowned universities located amid the United States are actively working on global health issues. These institutions will provide an overview of the work they are conducting, which ranges from HIV/AIDS testing, to the adoption of a Millennium village in Uganda, to malaria control methods, and to more efficiently providing health care in Africa. The projects to be discussed include those that could be implemented immediately and those that would serve as models. In short, but exciting sessions, presenters will identify and discuss an issue; support the dignity of the human person; describe current best practices; explore new possibilities; and provide a forum for the exchange of experiences across nations and enhanced communication among presenters and participants. More information about the work of the Holy See Mission is available at www.holyseemission.org, the Path to Peace Foundation at www.thepathtopeacefoundation.org, Purdue University at (www.purdue.edu) and University of Notre Dame at (www.nd.edu). New York, 4 September 2007
