Gates Sounds Alarm: US Global Health Funding Shortfalls Cannot Be Filled by Private Sector Alone

Reuters

Bill Gates is urging the Trump administration to maintain funding for critical global health programs, including childhood vaccinations and HIV treatment. He warns that even his foundation, a major player in global health initiatives, cannot fill the gaps left by reduced US funding. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has been a key partner in the global fight against infectious diseases, but Gates emphasizes that government support is essential to sustain progress. With the US facing a global health funding shortfall, Gates' warning highlights the need for continued investment in global health security and international aid, including foreign assistance and public health programs.
