The Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Committee on the U.S. Commitment to Global Health is releasing its final report on May 20, which is expected to address the case for a deeper commitment to global health by the U.S. and communicate specific recommendations pertaining to the government, academia, the public health and scientific research communities, the diplomatic and national security communities, the private sector, civil society and foundations.
