As President of the Global Development Division at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Dr. Chris Elias spends his days working on high-impact solutions. Whether it's emergency response; family planning; maternal, newborn, and child health; nutrition; Polio eradication; or vaccine delivery, he leads a team whose work has the potential to touch hundreds of millions of lives.

A common theme of Dr. Elias' programs is innovative and integrated delivery, including the strengthening of primary health care systems. Exemplars News spoke with him about the importance of extracting lessons from delivering essential care in the world's most resource-constricted settings.
