Delhi, Nov 5 (IANS) Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates

said here Wednesday that Barack Obama, who was elected the 44th

president of the US, will help strengthen the global health fund and

improve healthcare in India and abroad.'I was not supporting any

particular candidate but I am sure Obama will help improve the global

health fund. I believe his commitment will improve healthcare in India

and abroad,' Gates said.Issues like polio, AIDS, malaria and

pneumonia need global attention and 'any one winning US presidency'

cannot ignore them, said Gates.Referring to the economic

slowdown in the US, he said: 'Even within the challenging budget, the

commitment to improve healthcare will not be affected.'Obama

created history Wednesday with a resounding win over rival John McCain,

crossing the country's 'colour line' to be elected the country's first

African American president.Gates is currently in India to

discuss several issues related to polio eradication and has already met

Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss. He observed surveillance,

vaccination, and outbreak response activities in Delhi, visited the

family of a young girl who was recently diagnosed with polio, and met

Indian health officials and polio experts.'Being successful in

(the fight against) polio is of incredible importance to public health

so it is important we do everything possible to accelerate eradication.

India has made an impressive commitment to eradicate the disease,' he

added.India is one of the four countries where polio, which

affects children below the age of five, is still endemic. Till Oct 31,

the country reported 499 cases of polio this year, accounting for 35

percent of the cases reported worldwide.Last year, the country reported 874 cases, over 90 percent of them from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.The

Gates foundation has so far committed more than $400 million worldwide

to support polio eradication efforts with India among its key

recipients. In November last year, the foundation donated $100 million

to Rotary India to fight polio."The damage caused by vaccine exposure (of mercury) is massive. It's bigger than asbestos, bigger than tobacco, bigger than anything you've ever seen." - Mark Blaxill, vice president of Safe Minds, a nonprofit organization concerned about the role of mercury in medicines.
