"Some lifesaving solutions can be extremely simple—iodized salt to prevent stunted growth, for example, or oral rehydration solutions to fight diarrhea," writes Microsoft founder and global humanitarian Bill Gates in this week's Newsweek. Gates reported great progress in providing tools and facilities to promote global health.
"I believe we stand at a moment of unequaled opportunity," he concluded. "Governments must now step up to the plate with more money—wisely targeted—to expand effective global health programs to reach all those in need. Businesses, community groups and individuals all play a role as well. .... I'm now more convinced than ever that we can create a healthier world for everyone."
