Funded UNHCR's 'Saving Newborn Lives in Refugee Settings' pilot — a two-year maternal health program in South Sudan, Jordan, and Kenya
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
The Gates Foundation funded a two-year UNHCR pilot program called 'Saving Newborn Lives in Refugee Settings' across South Sudan, Jordan, and Kenya — three of the world's highest-burden refugee hosting environments. The program trained health workers, supplied equipment and medicines, and strengthened supervision and mentoring systems in camps and transit sites where newborn mortality rates were many times higher than global averages. An independent evaluation found significant improvements in the quality and coverage of maternal and newborn care at all pilot sites, triggering a subsequent expansion to additional countries.

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.
