Earlier we heard about the issues of AIDS in the region from Bill Bowtell, executive director of Pacific Friends of the Global Fund which is a high-level advocacy organisation to mobilise regional awareness of the serious threat posed by HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria to societies and economies in the Pacific.
Mr Bowtell joins us again, this time to discuss TB and Malaria in the region.
