When public and private sectors combine intellectual and other resources, more can be achieved

You cannot achieve environmental security and human development without addressing the basic issues of health and nutrition.

I have seen this happen in recent years with regard to pharmaceuticals and vaccines, where, working together, we are improving access to medicines and vaccines for infectious diseases in the poorest countries.

A safe and nutritionally adequate diet is a basic individual right and an essential condition for sustainable development, especially in developing countries.

We are working towards a shared vision of the future for health among all the world's people. A vision future in which we develop new ways of working together at global and national level. A vision which has poor people and poor communities at its centre. And a vision which focuses action on the causes and consequences of the health conditions that create and perpetuate poverty.

Women power is a formidable force.

Music is something I must do, business is something I need to do, and Africa is something I have to do. That's the way it breaks down in my life.
