Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife
Priscilla
Chan, who is a pediatrician, have donated $25
million
to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation to aid
in combating the Ebola epidemic in West Africa. In a
Facebook post announcing the move, Zuckerberg
said the current crisis is at a “critical turning
point”: We need to get Ebola under control in the
near term so that it doesn’t spread further
and become a long term global health crisis that we end up fighting for decades at large
scale, like HIV or polio. We believe our grant is the
quickest way to
empower the CDC and the experts in this field
to prevent this outcome. Grants like this directly
help the front line responders in their heroic work. These
people are on the ground setting up care
centers, training local staff, identifying Ebola
cases and much more. The CDC Foundation is an
entity established by Congress to help raise private
funds to supplement the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention’s response to public health threats.
Zuckerberg and Chan’s contributions were made
through their fund at the Silicon Valley Community
Foundation and was made to the CDC
Foundation’s Global Disaster Response Fund.
