David Olson, the Global Health Council's Director of Policy Communications, is blogging all this week and sending updates via Twitter from the 2009 G8 Summit in Italy. Olson is participating in the civil society pre-meeting this week in Rome and will be on hand when the G8 leaders arrive in L'Aquila for the summit July 8-10. Olson will be writing about global health's inclusion in the G8 agenda and the participation of civil society.
The Global Health Council is one of only four U.S.-based non-governmental organizations taking part in the 2009 G8 Summit.
