A conversation with the leaders of the Gates Foundationʹs Global Health Program: Gordon Perkin and William Foege

Over the past 3 years, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has committed more than $1·7 billion to help prevent and eradicate diseases that afflict people living in the worldʹs poorest nations. The gifts have revitalised a number of major global health initiatives that in recent years had lost momentum and helped to refocus the worldʹs attention on the health crises facing many developing nations.
