Extended 'Saving Newborn Lives in Refugee Settings' to Chad, Cameroon, and Niger — covering Lake Chad Basin refugees
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Following the success of the South Sudan, Jordan, and Kenya pilot, the Gates Foundation funded an expansion of the 'Saving Newborn Lives in Refugee Settings' program to Chad, Cameroon, and Niger — three countries hosting refugees displaced by the Lake Chad Basin crisis and the Boko Haram insurgency. In northeastern Nigeria alone, over two million people had been internally displaced; hundreds of thousands had crossed into neighbouring Chad, Cameroon, and Niger. The expanded program trained health workers, strengthened facility-level maternity care, and integrated family planning services in refugee and IDP hosting communities where formal health infrastructure had been severely degraded.

Gates-backed World Mosquito Program reaches 16 million people protected from dengue via Wolbachia method
The World Mosquito Program — backed in part by the Gates Foundation — announced in January 2026 that its Wolbachia-infected mosquito releases had reached over 16.1 million people across multiple countries, including Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — which block dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever transmission — had established self-sustaining populations in treated cities without requiring ongoing releases. Gold-standard randomised trials in Indonesia showed a 77% reduction in dengue incidence. The program represented one of the largest and most cost-effective vector control deployments in history.
