UN secretary to address global health

ATLANTA --

United Nations secretary-general Ban Ki-moon will meet with former President Carter and other world leaders for a conference that focuses on global health.

Carter is also expected to announce a new focus on global health from The Elders, a group of world leaders dedicated to finding new ways to foster peace and resolve global crises.

The meeting Friday wraps up Ban's visit to Atlanta, part of a national tour he launched last summer to better understand the U.S.

As part of his tour, Ban on Thursday viewed a portion of Morehouse College's collection of Martin Luther King Jr. papers and dined with Governor Sonny Perdue.
