There are places in the world that the power goes out in hospitals, and there isn't clean water, and it's horrific.

I wish we could have state-of-the-art hospitals in every corner of the earth... but realistically, it's going to be a while before that can happen. But we can immunise every kid on earth, and we can prevent these diseases. It's only a matter of political will, a little bit of money and some systems to do it.

More than a billion people lack adequate access to clean water.

If we work so hard and put all the money in the hospital to buy medicine - it will be a disaster. Why we should work? So without a healthy environment of this Earth, no matter how much money you make, no matter how wonderful you are, you have a bad disaster.

There's over a billion people on this planet that don't have access to clean drinking water.

There are some sick people in this world.

Today we see a human population of over 6 billion people, many of whom have serious medical conditions, which either can't be treated or cannot be treated economically.

Hospital-acquired infections are now killing more people every year in the United States than die from AIDS or cancer or car accidents combined - about 100,000.

Some countries have more water than others - some can afford to use clean water to flush their poop away, and some can't.

Water and sanitation has not had the same kind of champion that global health, and even education, have had.
