In a remote Niger hospital in 1973, ten-year-old Chris Murray meticulously organized medications and tracked patient data while his physician parents treated the endless stream of malnourished children. This early experience in the Sahara would shape his understanding of a fundamental truth: in much of the world, people die without anyone recording why, making prevention nearly impossible. Decades later, when Bill Gates encountered Murray's groundbreaking Global Burden of Disease study, it transformed his understanding of health priorities and ultimately directed billions in funding that saved millions of children's lives. "It was seeing that data that got the Gates Foundation on the track of focusing on global health," Gates would later reflect. Murray's obsessive quest to accurately measure global health has been called "comparable to sequencing the human genome" - a revolution not in treatment, but in understanding what actually kills and disables us worldwide.
