Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has hailed India's expertise in public health but underlined the need to do more in the nutrition and sanitation sector to improve child health and survival.
Calling India's public health a "mixed story", Gates told news agency PTI that there are some really good, incredible things like the level of expertise in the country and the experts they work with. He now heads the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which is engaged in major philanthropic work globally.
The Gates Foundation Scientific Advisory Board, he noted, has more people from India than anywhere. Gates said more vaccines are made in India than anywhere, and his foundation spends the most on is in India, he added.
