The 2018 Irish Aid Annual Professor Michael Kelly Lecture on HIV/AIDS will take place in our Banquet Hall on December 11 at 5:00pm. The theme of this year’s lecture will be “Leaving No-One Behind”. Like in previous years, this event will bring together those of us in Ireland passionate about HIV/AIDS with a diverse panel of speakers from around the world to explore current priorities, commemorate World AIDS Day, and to keep HIV high on the agenda.

This year’s lecture will feature a video address from Father Michael, and will be moderated by broadcaster Dil Wickramesinghe. Speakers include HIV activist Robbie Lawlor, Executive Director of SCDI Vietnam Dr Oanh Khuat, and entertainer Rory O’Neil/Panti Bliss. Nicola Brennan, Policy Unit Director at Irish Aid and Minister of State for the Diaspora and International Development, Ciaran Cannon T.D. will give special addresses.

The Irish Forum for Global Health (IFGH) is an independent network of people from different backgrounds, sectors and disciplines who are concerned with health inequities and issues that impact on the health and development of populations at a global level, with a particular commitment to those living in middle and low- income countries.
