Two of the richest men on the planet, along with the government of Spain, announced Monday that they are donating a total of $150 million to fund new public-private health programs for the poorest citizens in Central America and southern Mexico. Billionaires Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, and Carlos Slim, the Mexican telecommunications mogul who in March was named the richest man in the world by Forbes magazine, have partnered their charitable foundations to bankroll an ambitious five-year project to improve health and nutrition for mothers and children in the region; to provide childhood vaccinations and to fight malaria and dengue; and to improve family planning for 10 million of the poorest of the poor.
