Visited New Delhi clinics to personally support India's final push for polio eradication
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
Gates traveled to New Delhi to visit vaccination clinics and personally support the final phase of India's polio eradication effort. The visit drew significant media attention to the campaign and demonstrated the Gates Foundation's hands-on engagement beyond grant-making. India was one of the last strongholds of wild poliovirus, and Gates's direct involvement helped maintain political will and donor momentum. India was ultimately declared polio-free in 2014 — one of the Gates Foundation's proudest achievements.

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.
