LUSAKA, Zambia (AP) - First lady Laura Bush promoted the role of faith-based organizations in combating disease in Africa as she launched an anti-malaria campaign in Zambia on Thursday.
"Religious institutions bring a personal healing touch to the fight against AIDS," Mrs. Bush said, adding that Zambian health caregivers "know very well the healing power of faith."
She spoke at an event at a community center on the eastern outskirts of Zambia's capital, where she took part in a round-table discussion with local Zambian women and girls who are providing care to family and friends infected with HIV.
