“Maternal mortality is an entirely preventable event providing you have access to basic health care. Not high-tech health care but basic health care.” Lessons to be learned from countries like Norway, which has the lowest maternal mortality rate in the world — zero. They achieved this through services like free prenatal appointments for everyone. https://lnkd.in/emppFTKZ

In our latest blog, Deputy Director Jennifer Alcorn shares a few of what she believes to be the most compelling recent trends in philanthropy, including the rise of women philanthropists. She writes, "The power of women donors—and their unique approaches to trust-based giving—continues to take center stage. Throughout the summer, changemakers and nonprofits across the U.S. and beyond reacted to both Melinda French Gates and MacKenzie Scott’s historic donations to advance issues ranging from women’s rights to public health to equitable housing."

"When women have access to these financial resources—and, importantly, when those resources are designed to fit their needs—they can plan their financial lives and plan them well, without paternalistic structures to enforce 'good' behavior. This, in turn, enables them to be a catalytic solution for progress. " In this piece for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rohini Pande, Professor of Economics at Yale University, shares what happens when women entrepreneurs have equal access to capital as men: https://lnkd.in/eq3TkiX8

In this Foreign Affairs Magazine piece, Mark Suzman, CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, examines how debt is devastating the African continent. He writes, "To help low-income countries out of the debt crisis and to restore global growth, wealthy governments should increase their funding for the World Bank’s affordable financing programs and build on earlier debt-relief efforts, such as those coordinated by the G-20, aimed at the poorest countries. Together, world leaders have the power to write a new story—one that ends in a positive cycle of development, not in a decade of lost opportunity for the 1.5 billion people who call Africa home."

“Can we save more babies if we keep the mother and baby together?” — Dr. Harish Chellani, Head of Pediatrics, Safdarjung Hospital This was the key question in a clinical trial to determine if kangaroo mother care (also known as KMC or skin-to-skin contact between a newborn and their mother immediately after birth) could help prevent newborn deaths. The findings showed a 25% reduction in preterm deaths in the immediate KMC group—deemed so successful that "it was stopped early because everyone involved decided it was unethical to deny other preterm and low-birthweight babies what was clearly lifesaving care." And researchers also found that it saved mothers' lives, too. Watch the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation video to learn more about this simple yet lifesaving tool: https://lnkd.in/g5fBum_C

From 2019 to 2022, 13 million malaria cases were prevented in sub-Saharan Africa thanks to innovative dual insecticide bed nets provided by the The Global Fund and partners. This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without Corine Ngufor, who played a key role in developing chlorfenapyr, the new insecticide that boosts the effectiveness of these nets. By increasing investments in life-saving tools like these, we can ensure they reach those who need them most. Together, we can save lives and end malaria. #WorldMosquitoDay

ICYMI, a new report looking into DAFs (or Donor-Advised Funds) found that those who contribute through donor-advised funds typically are more generous than those who use other means to give. And even better? They tend to stick around year after year. https://lnkd.in/e8TUUrGF
