Tadataka (Tachi) Yamada

CSIS hosted Tadataka (Tachi) Yamada, President of the Global Health Program at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, for a discussion on the future of global health.  John Hamre, President & CEO of CSIS, chaired the session.  Dr. Tachi Yamada leads the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's efforts to improve the health of the world's poor by reducing global health inequities, bringing forward affordable new vaccines, therapies, and diagnostics for diseases that most gravely burden the world's poor, and by developing new partnerships to shape the future of global public health.  In his presentation at CSIS, Dr. Yamada spoke to the foundation's vision of its current and future role, and more broadly, to the shared priorities and approaches most important to securing major public health gains in the future.
