SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Purpose: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), 
with support from relevant health-related U.S. Government offices, is 
charged with leading U.S. engagement in the Group of 7 (G7) Health 
Track and will convene an informal Stakeholder Listening Session.
    The Stakeholder Listening Session is designed to seek input from 
stakeholders and subject matter experts to help inform and prepare for 
U.S. government engagement with G7 health ministries.
    The Group of Seven (G7) is an informal grouping of advanced 
democracies that meets annually to coordinate global economic policy 
and address other transnational issues. The Group was established as a 
platform for economic and financial cooperation in response to the 1973 
energy crisis. Over the years G7 has progressively expanded its focus. 
From an ad-hoc gathering to discuss financial challenges, it has become 
a more formal, prominent venue to address major global issues.
    The G7 is comprised of 7 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, 
Japan, the United Kingdom, and the U.S. The European Union also 
participates in the Group as a ``nonenumerated'' member.
    Each year, a different member country holds the presidency of the 
group and hosts the meetings. The presidency proposes the group's 
priorities for the year and hosts discussions to work towards consensus 
positions and actions on those priorities. This year's G7 presidency is 
Italy, which will be hosting Health Working Group meetings throughout 
the year, culminating in a Health Ministers' Meeting on in mid-October 
in Ancona, Italy.
    Matters to be Discussed: The Stakeholder Listening Session will 
cover global health issues under the general themes of global health 
security and health systems strengthening, prevention and healthy 
aging, and addressing urgent challenges to health, which could benefit 
from G7 engagement.
    Participation is welcome from stakeholder communities, including:

<bullet> Public health and advocacy groups
<bullet> State, local, and Tribal groups
<bullet> Private industry
<bullet> Minority health organizations
<bullet> Academic and scientific organizations
