Millions Saved: Proven Successes in Global Health (2004) is a book co-authored by a Notre Dame graduate, Molly Kinder '01. It was published by the Center for Global Health, a think tank in Washington, D.C. that researches the impact of rich country policies on poor countries, in collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
