Bill Gates goes all in on women's health

Bill Gates has committed to giving away nearly all of his wealth over the next 20 years through his namesake foundation. This week, he announced that part of that spending would be a $2.5 billion investment into women’s health across the globe.

STAT spoke to Gates this week about the new funding, how this money will be used, why he chose to focus on women’s health, his role amid major cuts to U.S. global health funding, and more. 

In this week’s installment of STATus Report, senior multimedia reporter Alex Hogan highlights some of the key moments from STAT’s conversations with Gates.
