Public Health

By spreading proven public health measures, we can save millions of lives every year.

Some of the world’s most common causes of death are preventable. Tobacco use, road crashes, drowning, and obesity claim millions of lives each year. On these and other major public health challenges, we increasingly know what measures work to save lives and prevent illnesses – and the right resources go a long way in helping those measures spread. By helping local and national governments identify and apply effective strategies, we are making major progress.
