20 yrs ago today, I started working @gatesfoundation. By far, the best part of my time has been the chance to work with @BillGates & @melindagates, two extraordinary human beings. Their generosity & tireless commitment has kept me busy and fulfilled for two decades. So grateful – at London, England

I had the chance to meet with Baroness @JennyChapman, the UK’s newly appointed International Development Minister, while in London. We discussed maximizing UK resources for the most vulnerable through partnerships like @Gavi and @GlobalFund, which have saved millions of lives. Looking forward to working closely with her to support the UK’s global health and development efforts in the months and years to come.
The UK and @gatesfoundation are investing in British science - reaching millions with technologies like new malaria vaccines.   I met @msuzman to discuss our work on global health, and how we will modernise our approach to development.

At the start of this century, governments spent more on healthcare than on the #military. This was unthinkable for most of history, but humans proved it’s achievable. We can work our way back there. Full discussion with @AdamMGrant –by @tedtalks– at spoti.fi/4ajMTS6

It’s hard to believe that after nearly 25 years, today is my last day of work at the @gatesfoundation. I want to extend an extra special thank you to foundation colleagues & alumni for all they’ve taught me over the years & for all the ways they’re carrying this work forward. ❤

Heute haben wir uns mit 25 NGOs in Berlin versammelt, um gegen die drohenden Kürzungen bei der internationalen Zusammenarbeit ein Zeichen zu setzen. Denn die Kürzungen von heute sind die Krisen von morgen! #LuftNachOben 🧵

I want to thank Melinda for her critical contributions to the Foundation from its very beginning. As a co-founder and co-chair Melinda has been instrumental in shaping our strategies and initiatives, significantly impacting global health and gender equality. Looking ahead, I remain fully committed to the Foundation’s work across all our strategies, and to realizing the opportunities we have to continue improving the lives of millions around the world. I am sorry to see Melinda leave, but I am sure she will have a huge impact in her future philanthropic work. Our foundation team is incredibly strong and deeply passionate about our work, and under the leadership of Mark Suzman, and a committed board of trustees, I am confident we will keep making substantial progress on our mission to create a world where every person can live a healthy, productive life.

My cousin’s Super Bowl ad used our uncle’s faces- and my Mother’s. She would be appalled by his deadly health care views. Respect for science, vaccines, & health care equity were in her DNA. She strongly supported my health care work at @ONECampaign & @RED which he opposes.
