BOULDER, Colo.—U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says health is the “great global connector” and nations cannot afford to ignore disease in any part of the world.
Sebelius was the keynote speaker at the University of Colorado’s Conference on World Affairs on Monday.
She praised the work of the United States helping control recent disease outbreaks in northern Uganda and in Vietnam, and for providing better health care to expectant mothers in the developing world.
While the United States has made great strides lowering its smoking rates, she said the United States needs to help fight tobacco use in the rest of the world because of its role promoting smoking.
