Meyers I'm president of the National Press Foundation.

We are an independent, nonprofit organization devoted on Lee to professional development programs for journalists and awards for accomplishment.

We're not affiliated with any other organization.

We're delighted this morning to be co sponsoring this event with WGBH in conjunction with the important public television presentation on November 1st 2nd and third of Rx for survival.

Public health is the health across populations, and it may be for journalists, one of the most important topics imaginable in our modern world.

Events take place around the globe, um, and they can't affect us immediately.

Some of these events are unpredictable, such as an earthquake or hurricane, others air chronic, like malaria or waterborne diseases.

All of them can be anticipated, responded to and described by journalists.

We plan and critically important role in informing individuals, governments and societies of what is happening elsewhere.

What can be done to prepare and how the response is going or not going or should be going.

Let me take this opportunity to welcome my colleague non dirty tree and offer her the opportunity to greet you as well.

I'm here on behalf of our ex for survival.

This ambitious multimedia project is being co produced by the WGBH Nova Science Unit and Vulcan Productions, with major funding provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and The More Company Foundation.

The narrative heart of this project is a six part PBS series that will air November 1st through third that combines up to the minute documentary stories with brief historical dramatic recreations toe help viewers understand the critical issues and breakthrough moments in global public health, and you will be seeing some of the highlights from the Siri's later on this morning.

Arcs for survival is also a major awareness initiative, with many partners ranging from media, health and humanitarian organizations to civic and educational groups.

We are very grateful today to Bob Myers and the National Press Foundation, and especially to all of you for participating in this conference.

In today's global society, the health of every human being can affect each of us.

An outbreak of infectious diseases is no more than a plane right away, and even those sitting in first class or at risk But before many of the natural disasters of this year, global health was a subject that did not appear very often on the media landscape.

Yet a 2000 and four national survey that we commissioned found that 53% of Americans had some concept of global health.

And perhaps most importantly, our research showed that by nearly 2 to 1, Americans reject the idea that the world's health problems are too big to solve.

So knowing this, we as journalists, filmmakers, educators and Web producers asked ourselves, How can we not cover this story with the death as well as the immediacy that it deserves?

But we wanted to do much more than have a PBS series on global health.

First, we wanted to be able to provide ah, high end form for a select group of journalists to discuss the opportunities and obstacles of global health reporting.

An earthquake in Asia takes 50,000 lives.

While the everyday deaths of 30,000 Children is not news, it's quote the wallpaper unquote, as New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof recently said.

But disasters or even potential pandemics like avian flu can put the spotlight on the need for global public health preparedness and signal the need for change.

Second, we also found that the producers had amassed thousands of facts and hundreds of personal stories.

And rather than let all of this knowledge sit in shelves and file of cabinets and buried in e mails and hard drives, we decided to commission a newsroom guide on Global Health to share with you our colleagues and journalism.

We're very pleased to offer you the first of these guides that are just delivered from the printer, and I think most of you picked him up outside.

Only an informed public can be expected to act responsibly, and we believe that by taking a more proactive journalistic stance, understanding that fresh and compelling stories are there if we make the commitment to find them, I hope today is the beginning of an even broader effort to improve global health coverage in the United States.

Thank you again for all participating in this conference.

We're going to have three panels today and we'll be hearing from some of the world's leading experts on our subjects.

Um, the first panel will look at avian flu and other potential pandemics.

The second will look a global health crises and child survival.

We'll have the brief preview of our experts survival that non dimension.

Then we will hear from a panel of journalists who have reported on global health crises around the world.

And here at home, National Press Foundation programs are always on the record and include plenty of time for questions and answers.

So people sitting there gonna work Justus hard as the people sitting here.

Um, there is in your packet and evaluation form in this attractive yellow format.

It is very important for us to know how this format and this kind of program worked for the purpose of educating journalists.

Um, our first, uh, mentioned the evaluation form.

Our first panel is on avian flu in tomorrow's pendant pandemics.

Michael Osterholm is director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy, associate director of the Department of Homeland Security's National Center for Food Protection and Defense and professor in the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota.

He is also a member of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences.

Rex Archer is director of health for the city of Kansas City, Missouri, and president of the National Association of County and City Health Officials.

Ola say G A Day is coordinator of public health programs at the World Bank, an adjunct professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Each of them will speak for five or 10 minutes on, then we'll go to Q and A.

I've offered the speaker is the opportunity to either speak here from the podium or from their seats as they choose?

Um, and we look forward to their remarks.

I will speak from here, so I don't ignore this part of the audience over here that we can't see from the table.

First of all, I'd like to congratulate and really acknowledge the incredible effort that's been put forward to make this all happen.

Having had the good fortune of being involved with some of the planning around this which was almost believe 18 months ago, there has been a tremendous concerted effort to really lay out the issue of global health is unlike I've ever seen it done before in this type of format, and I think it will serve as a primer for all public health, government officials and the media as we go forward in terms of some of the issues before us now.

Today I have the dubious distinction or terrible challenge of trying to lay the context for global health as we sit here potentially on the cliff of a pandemic of avian influenza or that term avian influenza, which has now been going in the popular press.

This is a significant challenge because quite honestly, in my 30 years of public health, having been involved with many different issues, emerging from such things as toxic shock syndrome, HIV AIDS, emerging infections worldwide, antibiotic resistance, terrorism, et cetera, I was often asked in my career how did I sleep a night and to my embarrassment, had to say, Well, I'm sorry, but I do infect My family would suggest I have fallen asleep in the middle of giving directions.

I lay awake at night thinking about pandemic influenza.

It scares the hell out of me and so I don't want it to overshadow all the issues today, because there are many very important global health issues that are not related to pandemic influenza.

But you cannot ignore the gigantic dinosaur in our kitchen today.

It is there, and it truly is an overwhelming thought.

We make just a couple of points about pandemic influenza.

First of all, it is a lesson in public policy.

In 18 61 if Congress had marched down from the hill up here and gunned out of the White House, said the President Lincoln, you know, the Civil War stuff is just not something we really want to take part in.

Rather, we would really like to take the entire federal budget and get to the moon.

By the end of the 18 sixties, they could have done that.

Rather, in 1961 when then newly elected president decided we're gonna get to the moon by the end of the decade.

But it's going to take an incredible effort.

It was done because the technology was there.

Today, we have within our miss the technology to handle many of the issues we're gonna talk about here today, but we've never made the commitment.

We've never understood how to put that in the context of global health.

And so today, one of the challenges we have is not just talking about the problem, but talking about what we're gonna do to solve it and talking about missed opportunities.

I will tell you right now, for some of us who have been on the pandemic influenza bandwagon for decades, not weeks or months, we would have had the opportunity following our scare in 1976 to have put together the technology to have put together the commitment to not be we're at today.

We could have a global vaccine supply that would be available with new modern vaccines, unlike the slide ruler type vaccine and for the two or three in the room old enough to remember using slide rules in the 19 fifties.

That's the same vaccine technology we're using today to make influenza vaccine.

We also understand commitment as Andy Granite Telly, the famous STP race car driver First commercial used to say, You can pay me now or you'll pay me later.

And for many of these problems, We understand what it's like to pay later.

So today we're also here to talk about that if in fact we had committed 20 years ago or 30 years ago to the sinful wins this situation.

The other issue I would raise with you is why his global health important if in fact we could.

And we can't and I'll just say it in a moment of re comment about that.
