At its event, Goalkeepers 2024: Recipe for Progress, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation honored remarkable leaders who are advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (Global Goals) with solutions to keep people healthy and nourished in a rapidly warming world. The event also honored 10 Goalkeepers Champions —experts, innovators, and advocates from around the world—who are leading the charge towards a more nourished world, including Dr. Zahra Hoodbhoy of Pakistan. She is assistant professor of research at the Aga Khan University’s Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, where she combines public health interventions with AI tools to empower community workers to support mothers before and after delivery. She is also the primary investigator for a clinical trial for next-generation multiple micronutrient supplements.
