Millions saved: new cases of proven success in global health

Abstract

“Millions Saved: New Cases of Proven Success in Global Health” showcases twenty-two successful and promising health programs from low- and middle-income countries, providing valuable insights into the global health revolution. This book, endorsed by Bill Gates, highlights eighteen remarkable cases of large-scale health interventions that have improved lives, while also presenting four examples of interventions that fell short when scaled up. The book categorizes these programs by their strategies: rolling out medicines and technologies, expanding access to health services, targeting cash transfers, and promoting behavior change. These diverse cases, spanning sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Caribbean, demonstrate the dedication and effort required to combat illness and sustain good health, offering valuable lessons for policymakers, funders, and anyone working to improve global health outcomes.
