World Health Priorities

 Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
Global development and health are some of my own personal prioritizes, but I decided to see what were the priorities of the leading foundation in the world, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It turns out, they also have these same interests.  If you have never checked out their website, it's a good one to bookmark, spend some time with, and check out periodically.
