Bill Gates devoted $4.5 billion towards vaccines and prescription drug
Bill Gates, the guy who revolutionized the world of technology and is counted among the richest people in the world, came to be known for his philanthropic endeavors in the late stages of his career. He and his wife started the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to take forward their philanthropic vision.
Recently at the University of Chicago, Bill Gates spoke on international health and how diseases in third world countries get scant attention from pharmaceutical companies. As a part of its endeavor to improve healthcare in third world countries, Gates Foundation has devoted $4.5 billion towards vaccines and prescription drug. This is expected to go a long way towards improving healthcare standards and saving millions of lives out there.
All this makes us think highly of Bill Gates who wants to share his fortune made from technology industry with the society. This is expected act as inspiration for fellow czars to come forward and share their wealth with people who need it the most.
