Melinda French Gates, philanthropist and businesswoman, spoke at the annual Goalkeepers event in New York City about the alarming rate of maternal deaths related to pregnancy and childbirth. She called these deaths "needless" and emphasized that women should not be dying from childbirth in this day and age. The Goalkeepers Report highlights life-saving innovations that could save two million mothers and babies by 2030. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has committed $370 million annually from 2023 to 2027 to support maternal and children's health. French Gates plans to stay on the foundation despite her recent divorce from Bill Gates.
