In the U.S., tuberculosis deaths are rare. In some parts of Africa, they’re thousands of times more common. We have better tools than ever, but they remain out of reach for too many. What’s missing is equitable access.
The world left its fight against tuberculosis unfinished — how can we complete the job?
If we get it right, the world could save more than 1.2 million lives every year.

If we can’t live without water, why are we poisoning our rivers? If we can’t live without forests, why are we cutting them down? If we can’t live without soil, why are we stripping it of life?

We depend on nature, not the other way around. So why are we pushing our best ally to the brink?

Learning how many kids were dying from diarrhea back in 1997—when I never worried about it with my own kids—led me to get involved in global health: gatesnot.es/4kNtugR

To me, this is the most remarkable thing about global health: With a relatively small amount of money, you can do a great deal of good for a great many people. This is money well spent, and we should go back to spending it—now.

Dirty air kills 8.1 million people a year. Lead exposure is linked to millions more deaths.

This week, countries are fine-tuning plans for a new science-policy panel to provide robust, independent information on chemicals, waste and pollution prevention.

A big step forward in the fight against Alzheimer’s: The FDA approved the first blood test to help diagnose the disease. Breakthroughs like this will make earlier, easier diagnosis possible—bringing us closer to better treatments and, someday, a cure.

We have an opportunity to save more lives around the world than ever before—and I want to do even more to help. That's why I'm giving away virtually all of my wealth through the Gates Foundation over the next 20 years.

The planet is speaking through nature.

It teaches us balance, zero waste, and resilience.

Plastic pollution won’t solve itself, but together, we can.

Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we rise to act and #BeatPlasticPollution.

I was wrong. Now I believe that supporting Ukraine is, first of all, supporting America, - said Trump's spiritual advisor Mark Burns.

According to him, he advocated "for the termination of US support for Ukraine" until he visited Kryvyi Rih and saw the horror with his own eyes.
