Inhaled oxytocin, for example, was developed as part of the Saving Lives at Birth initiative, a collaboration between the global health care company GlaxoSmithKline, Monash University, and various other groups. This product is made by putting oxytocin, which stops maternal hemorrhaging, in an asthma inhaler so that it does not require refrigeration or delivery by injection.

These public-sector partners also bring their strategic insights and networks to domestic governments, which are then able to scale the products.

He saw an opportunity to look more systematically at a health issue, such as aging, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)
