The Gates Notes: Chris Murray and the Global Burden of Disease

Published September 15, 2015

"Dr. Chris Murray and his team at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation launched the Global Burden of Disease, using data from researchers around the world. The idea behind Chris's work is simple: We can't cure what we don't understand. If we know what the biggest killers are, we can make sure our efforts to save lives are aimed at the right things." - Bill Gates
