Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta · Melinda French Gates Is Taking on the Women’s Health Gap. Here’s How · 5 Jun 2026 podcast

That is very bizarre to me.

So I think a lot about the world that they are launching in.

And that is part of my work now is like, how do we make sure we don't roll things back?

Women deserve to decide if and when to have a baby.

We know the longest global health research that was done goes back to the 1970s.

We know that when a woman can time and space the births of her pregnancies,

she's better off the baby's better off the family's better off and yet we rolled something back and we have attacks on contraceptives or myth of pristone come on these are not political decisions these are decisions that families are making and you know the country is going through

incredibly difficult economic times.

And so people deserve to decide when they're going to have a child and if they're going to have a child and when to do it and how to space those.

It is.

And it's why we all have to speak out and be outraged about this.

We are making things worse for women, not better.

And we should be making them better.

Well, I used to be focused more on global health.

I'm still doing some global health, but I'm not traveling quite as much to the continent of Africa or Southeast Asia.

So I'm doing more domestic work.

I'm more like 70% domestic, 30% international.

So I'm visiting health clinics around the United States.

I am meeting with partners.
