The Gates Foundation has supported global health R&D and health institutions as its top priority

Global health expert Bill Gates: "The Gates Foundation has supported global health R&D and health institutions as its top priority since its inception. And as we'll be celebrating our 25th anniversary next year, we'll make it clear that our support for these organizations is the best money we've ever spent. And I believe that the citizens of every donor nation should feel the same way.
But we should not feel complacent. The fact that childhood deaths are under 5 million a year is an achievement. But it's still 5 million children. And I think we can all agree that that is far too many. It's been a quarter century since I was a new father wondering if we could cut it in half. Today, I'm a new grandfather wondering if we can cut it in half again. And the answer is that if we're focused, if we prioritize this, we can. Now sadly, I don't think this is going to be easy."
