This includes the international review into antimcrobial resistance, the recently launched Developing Excellence in Leadership, Training and Science (DELTAS) Africa Initiative, and their work on Malaria and Ebola.
The Wellcome Trust recently announced that its investment in fighting the Ebola epidemic had exceeded £10 million.
Many of their Ebola research projects, including activities funded through the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises programme, can be seen on our Ebola Research Database.

Their 2014 review showed healthy returns on their investment portfolio, which should allow them to spend in excess of £4 billion in the period 2014-2019.
