"The efficacy and impact of US assistance is of considerable interest at the
moment. Below, we present some estimates for lives saved by US assistance
worldwide, with illustrative estimates by recipient country. Our core estimates
are for deaths prevented from HIV/AIDS, vaccine-preventable illnesses covered
by Gavi, TB, malaria, and emergency/humanitarian relief. We suggest the number
of lives saved per year may range between 2.3 to 5.6 million with our preferred
number resting on gross estimates of 3.3 million. We briefly discuss some other
lifesaving interventions financed by US assistance in a later section."
