Gates+Foundation

=The [|Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation]=

Global Health Program
===The Gates Foundation has quickly become a major influence upon global health, especially in poor and under-developed countries, and even entire continents, like Africa. The $800 million that the Foundation gives every year for global health programs and research is equivalent to the annual budget of the [|United Nations] [|World Health Organization] (consisting of 193 nations), and is comparable to the funds given to fight infectious diseases by the [|United States Agency for International Development].===

===When Jared Diamond speaks about "Germs" in his book and film, __Guns, Germs, and Steel - The Fates of Human Societies__, this is exactly what the Gates Foundation is dedicated to improving worldwide: Global Health, and focusing particularly on eradicating tropical infectious diseases that have decimated populations in Africa, etc.===

Also, now that Bill Gates is not busy running Microsoft, he has the time to create an ongoing Blog/Website called The Gates Notes,
===where much of his focus is on improving world health... And his fame and fortune certainly attract many of the best innovators and the wealthiest philanthropists in the world... It is exciting to see and hear about his goals and collaborative successes...===
