Dr. Chris Elias will deliver a progress report on Global Health and Development to the club on Monday, April 16.
Dr. Chris Elias, President of the Global Development Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will present a Progress Report on Global Health and Development. He will describe the progress the global heath and development communities have made toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Dr Elias will focus on how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports the UN goals of bringing a much-improved standard of health and well being to those most burdened by inequity. He will use case studies to show what the Gates Foundation sees as working in these areas, progress that has been made, and challenges still ahead.
