Are U.S. Investments in Global Health Worth It? Bill Gates Addresses the Skeptics
What about corrupt governments? Measurable results? Creating overly-dependent countries who can’t help themselves? Bill Gates addresses the arguments skeptics raise, when it comes to the discussion about U.S. funding for global health.
This chapter is an excerpt from a presentation at Sidney Harmon Hall in Washington, D.C. Bill and Melinda Gates explained why they are Impatient Optimists, and encouraged their audience to share the proof and become Impatient Optimists as well.
“LIVING PROOF: Why we are Impatient Optimists” is a story about success. Millions of lives have been saved, improved and empowered because of the investments in global health made by the United States and its partners around the world.
