  Global health organization prepares to name leader - The Boston Globe
WASHINGTON -- The next leader of a global organization that fights major infectious diseases, including AIDS, may come from a group that includes the former health minister of Mexico, France's AIDS ambassador, the former leader of UNICEF, and several leaders of the World Health Organization, according to a list of names obtained by the Globe.
The board overseeing the organization, Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, failed to select a new executive director last November and now hopes to name one at a meeting in Geneva early next month.
When the organization began five years ago, "I was saying the most important thing was getting the donors to give the money," Rivers said yesterday in a phone interview from Dublin.
