Co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates once again criticizes the radical cutbacks of the American Development AID Program in the US under US President Donald Trump and paints a dark future: “We are confronted with a worldwide health crisis.”
The fully surprising measures would have led to the dismissal of more than 10,000 employees. In some African countries there are no more employees, Gates reported on Tuesday during a meeting with EU MPs in Brussels. “It’s not just about numbers, it’s about real fate!” It approaches a low point. It takes two to five years to be able to reverse these developments.
Not just a USA short -funds
The United States had made the greatest cuts, but comparable to other countries. Foreign help had been taken with more than 30 billion euros. “We are confronted with a global health crisis – and unlike Pandemie, this crisis is due to the actions of people.”
The American billionaire fears that “more children will die again”. There are no more malaria networks or tuberculosis medication in some African countries, but the risk of malnutrition is increasing. “We also see that the risk of pandemic is growing when we allow the health systems in these countries.”
By the end of 2045, Gates wants to donate around 172 billion euros
Gates recalled his announcements that he would close the Gates Foundation founded in 2000 by the end of 2045 and donated $ 200 billion (approximately EUR 172 billion) in the coming 20 years. 35 percent of the foundation spending went into research, said Gates and also praised Europe as “exemplary” for his research spending: “You can be proud!” It is now about “determining the right priorities, even if the resources are scarce,” he said, in which the members of the development committee, the Industry, Research and Energy Committee and the Health Committee of the European Parliament remain a message: “Stay loyal to your values!”
