Slideshow: Bill Gates on Progress in Global Health

Bill Gates talks about how investments in global health and partnerships with other organizations are directly responsible for many innovations in the fight against polio, smallpox, malaria, AIDS, and other diseases.

"Everyone should care about these problems and, if we can show a path, I think they will get involved so that the rate of progress can be far more rapid than it's been in the past."

—Bill Gates on engaging the world in global health issues
