Called for global malaria eradication at the WHO Malaria Forum — reorienting global health strategy
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
At an international Malaria Forum co-organized with WHO Director-General Margaret Chan, Bill Gates delivered a landmark speech calling for nothing less than the complete global eradication of malaria. The speech was widely credited with fundamentally reorienting the global health community's ambition — from managing malaria to eliminating it. Governments, multilateral organizations, and researchers shifted funding and research priorities accordingly. Gates stated: 'We need to chart a new course. We must make a plan to eliminate malaria.' The day is now regarded as a turning point in the modern malaria eradication movement.

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.
