[Judit Rius Sanjuan]

Rob Double has asked KEI to post this announcement on ip-health.

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the NGO delegation to the UNITAID Executive Board I have
the pleasure to introduce Ms. Kim Nichols, the new NGO alternate board
member. As you may know the term of service of Mr. Khalil Elouardighi,
as the NGOs board member concluded at the end of the EB 10 . Dr. Mohga
Kamal-Yanni assumed the position of NGO board member.

Kim works for the African Services Committee based in New York and has
over 20 years experience in global HIV/AIDS advocacy and policy work.
Kim was also involved in the Global Fund work on medicines. She brings
strong experience of working on international boards and civil society
delegations. We, therefore are confident she will be a most valuable
addition to the work of UNITAID's executive board. She is very much
looking forward to this work and as is the policy of the NGO
delegation, Kim will serve a two-year term and can be contacted via
myself.

Khalil will very strongly continue to be a part of the NGO delegation
and we shall be sure to continue to benefit from his fantastic support
and thank him immensely for all his hard work. He will continue to
serve as the Millennium Foundation for Innovative Finance for Health
NGO board member until further notice.

We would appreciate it if you could circulate this message widely to
your contacts and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any
questions about the work of the UNITAID NGO delegation.

Best wishes,

Rob Doble (On behalf of the NGO delegation)
