Authored by Amanda Glassman and Miriam Temin with the Millions
Saved Team and Advisory Group, Millions Saved: News Cases of Proven
Success in Global Health, shows what works-and what doesn't-in
global health. In a foreword to the book, Bill Gates says, "I
encourage global health experts, policymakers, funders, and anyone
else interested in helping create a better world to read Millions
Saved. I am confident you will come away with a clearer sense of
what the world has learned about fighting some of our biggest
health challenges-and how we can use that knowledge to save even
more lives." Over the past fifteen years, people in low- and
middle-income countries have experienced a health revolution-one
that has created new opportunities and brought new challenges. It
is a revolution that keeps mothers and babies alive, helps children
grow, and enables adults to thrive. Millions Saved: New Cases of
Proven Success in Global Health chronicles the global health
revolution from the ground up, showcasing twenty-two local,
national, and regional health programs that have been part of this
global change. The book profiles eighteen remarkable cases in which
large-scale efforts to improve health in low- and middle-income
countries succeeded, and four examples of promising interventions
that fell short of their health targets when scaled-up in real
world conditions. Each case demonstrates how much effort-and
sometimes luck-is required to fight illness and sustain good
health. The cases are grouped into four main categories, reflecting
the diversity of strategies to improve population health in low-and
middle-income countries: rolling out medicines and technologies;
expanding access to health services; targeting cash transfers to
improve health; and promoting population-wide behavior change to
decrease risk. The programs covered also come from various regions
around the world: seven from sub-Saharan Africa, six from Latin
America and the Caribbean, five from East and Southeast Asia, and
four from South Asia.
