2024: Gates Foundation to invest $8.6bn in health programs

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation says it plans to allocate $8.6 billion for its health intervention programs in 2024.

This budget, approved by the foundation’s board, marks a 4% increase from the previous year and a substantial $2 billion surge compared to 2021.

The move comes at a critical juncture when health budgets worldwide are witnessing an overall contraction, and contributions to health initiatives in the world’s lowest-income countries are showing signs of stagnation in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Gates Foundation, already a prominent player in global health funding, has not been immune to criticism regarding its influence.

However, CEO Mark Suzman emphasized last year that the foundation cannot step back until others step up, outlining plans to allocate $9 billion annually by 2026.

Expressing deep concern, Bill Gates highlighted the tragic reality of mothers and babies dying simply due to their geographical location, asserting that this reality “keeps me up at night.”

To drive home their commitment and showcase potential solutions, Gates and other foundation executives plan to carry backpacks at the World Economic Forum event in Davos, Switzerland.

The backpacks will feature simple health products capable of saving millions of lives, ranging from vaccine patches to an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled ultrasound tool. Gates is also set to discuss the broader potential of AI in healthcare during the event.
