The Art of Saving a Life is a collection of commissioned stories by world-renowned artists about how vaccines continue to change the course of history. The stories have been created by photographers, painters, sculptors, writers, filmmakers and musicians around the world.

The Art of Saving a Life offers an opportunity to hear, see and feel the tremendous impact of immunization, and to energize us in the global effort to protect every child from life-threatening disease.

They are stories of risk and bravery, the passion and dedication of scientists, the love of parents, and the determination of health workers.

These stories are told by more than 30 world-renowned photographers, painters, sculptors, writers, filmmakers, and musicians to impress urgency on the global community to reach all children with the life-saving vaccines they need.

The project is commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
