About half of all deaths around the world go unrecorded – meaning health decisions are often based on inadequate information.   Our Data for Health initiative aims to change this by working with governments and partners to track data on births, deaths, and risk factors for noncommunicable diseases, enabling leaders to save and improve lives. https://lnkd.in/efCBSgnR

In their own words: meet the Bloomberg LSE European City Leadership Initiative's inaugural class of mayors.

Last year, we announced the creation of 10 career technical education programs across the US focused on preparing the next generation of healthcare professionals.

A clearer future is in sight 👓    As a part of our global initiative to improve vision care, we’re setting bold goals: provide vision screenings for 11.5 million people, distribute nearly 7 million pairs of eyeglasses, and restore sight for 250,000 people through cataract surgery. We're expanding access to care across the U.S. and other countries, including Bangladesh, Cambodia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Nigeria. 🌍

Climate change is global, but solutions start local. From bold action plans to transformative community initiatives, these cities and regions are leading the way. We’re proud to recognize them as finalists for the 2025 Local Leaders Awards. Winners will be announced November 4 at the COP30 Local Leaders Forum in Rio de Janeiro.
