Gates Foundation Warns Child Deaths Rising as Global Aid Cuts Mount
- Dec 4: The Gates Foundation's Goalkeepers report projects around 200,000 more under-five deaths in 2025, rising to 4.8 million, based on IHME modelling.
- Gates says unprecedented international aid cuts from the United States and United Kingdom caused the reversal, as global development assistance for health fell just under 27% this year.
- For less than $100 per person per year, strong primary health care systems can prevent up to 90% of child deaths, and every $1 on vaccines returns $54 in benefits.
- Funding shortfalls left health systems fragile and exposed, with US global health funding two-thirds below 2024 levels and UK cuts raising malaria risks, Mr Suzman said.
- If cuts persist 20%, modelling shows 12 million additional child deaths by 2045, while a 30% cut scenario would raise that toll to 16 million, the Gates Foundation said.
