- The Gates Foundation plans to invest $2.5 billion over five years in women’s health research and development and support more than 40 innovations.
- Potential developments include AI-powered ultrasound equipment that could be used with minimal training and birth control injections lasting six months.
- A 2021 McKinsey study cited by the foundation found that 1% of medical research, excluding cancer research, focused on women’s health.
- Against the backdrop of reduced U.S. support for global maternal health programs, an internal USAID memo in March said the agency’s closure would end services for 16.8 million pregnant women annually.
This is an innovation-focused announcement. We need both innovation and delivery.— Anita Zaidi, president of Gates’s Gender Equality Division, on a Monday press call discussing the announcement.
