Dear Dr Sergeenko,

Hello.  I hope this message finds you well.  I would like to share with you your invitation to participate in the GHSA High-Level Ministerial Meeting to be held in Kampala Uganda October 25-27.  This ministerial comes at a key moment for global health security as the future of this important global health initiative will be discussed.  The GHSA High-Level Ministerial provides an opportunity for GHSA-member nations to share experiences in global health security with colleagues from Ministries of Health, Agriculture, Finance and Security.  Initial international discussions on extending the GHSA multilateral effort occurred at a July 28 GHSA Steering Group meeting in Seoul and further deliberations will continue during this ministerial meeting in Kampala.  We hope that you will be able to participate in this critical meeting so that Georgia’s perspective on GHSA, lessons learned, and desire to remain committed to GHSA can be shared.  If you have any questions or if CDC can assist in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Thank you.

Kind regards

Beth
