What Bill and Hillary Clinton's Controversial Foundation Actually Does

Although the foundation has a wide array of initiatives promoting
economic equality for women, boosting entrepreneurship in emerging markets
and tackling climate change it is perhaps best known for its health care
initiatives.
.
It has several separate entities through which it deploys its health
programs, including the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI). Established as
part of the Foundation in 2005, CGI essentially acts as a launching pad
for programs by bringing together a variety of stakeholders, including
NGOs, executives, entrepreneurs, politicians, and others, who then commit
to various ambitious projects. CGI doesnt actually implement those
projects itselfrather, it says it serves as a catalyst for action. For
instance, in 2015, as a participant in CGIs events, the infant and
maternal health group Embrace Innovations pledged to bring its innovative
Embrace infant warmer (which doesnt require a fixed electricity source) to
100,000 babies in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
.
Since 2005, according to CGI, it has spawned initiatives that:
.
Raised $313 million for R&D into new vaccines and medicines;
Helped provide better maternal and child survival care to more than 110
million people, and;
.
Provided treatment for more than 36 million people with tropical diseases.
Private firms are also in the mix. Biotech giant Gilead GILD -0.39% and
the NAACP joined forces to recruit religious leaders in the African
American community to help fight HIV/AIDS, which disproportionately
affects blacks in the U.S. Medical tech company Becton Dickinson bd ,
which ranked among the 50 companies in Fortunes Change the World list this
year, has committed to dramatically cutting the price of CD4 immune cell
tests for HIV-positive people across 55 countries.
.
And in 2015, the American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) and a host
of other partners pledged to build up a world-class cancer diagnostic and
treatment system in sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti, including boosting
telemedicine and cloud-based electronic health records systems. The
project is currently ongoing.
.
The Foundation says that another one of its arms, a collaboration with the
American Heart Association (AHA) called the Alliance for a Healthier
Generation, has helped provide access to healthier meals across more than
31,000 American schools and boosted physical education, the availability
of nutritious meals, and extracurricular exercise in poor communities with
high obesity rates.
