💨 Abstract

The Gates Foundation pledges $2.5 billion over five years for women’s health research, tripling its previous investment. Innovations include AI-powered ultrasound for embryo tracking and long-lasting birth control injections. The commitment aims to address understudied women's health issues, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, following reduced U.S. government support. The foundation hopes to incentivize other donors to support women's health research.
