Global Health Aid Cost-Effectiveness Vastly Exceeds Domestic

The most effective global health and development interventions save lives at roughly $5,000 per life via organizations like GiveWell (over 340,000 lives saved), whereas in the United States a typical cost to give someone one additional year of life is about $50,000—meaning the same money that buys an extra month of life in the US can save a child's life in a poor country.
