While global attention is focused on the Indian Ocean tsunami catastrophe, corporate donors should not forget the millions infected or affected by AIDS, Bristol-Myers Squibb CEO Peter Dolan said Friday. Dolan was reviewing a BMS-funded treatment support program in Ladysmith in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Dolan estimates some 9,000 people worldwide die of AIDS every day--many of them in Africa. "That's the equivalent of having a tsunami coming at us about every three weeks," he said. "We clearly need to keep the world's attention focused on the problem." (AP)
