Former US President Bill Clinton will be visiting the DR today at the invitation of the Presidential AIDS Council (COPRESIDA). As part of his Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative, Clinton is committed to curbing the spread of HIV/AIDS by expanding access to life-saving medicines and in helping developing countries systematize their approach to HIV/AIDS treatment. Clinton will be accompanied by an entourage of 32 people, including 12 journalists. The former President will visit the Robert Reid Cabral Children's Hospital at 3pm and will then head to the Presidential Palace to meet with President Leonel Fernandez and First Lady Margarita Cedeno at 5pm. The reason for Clinton's visit is to promote the Pediatric Initiative, which includes the participation of COPRESIDA, USAID and the Public Health Ministry. For more information, go to
