As a pediatric infectious disease specialist, he provided clinical care to infected children and infants born to HIV infected mothers living in the province. Dr. Forbes also made a significant contribution to innovative programming to improve the quality of care for moms and infants; to health promotion/harm reduction through his contribution in the education of health care professionals and the community; and to philanthropy through his work with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
