Who’s leading WHO? A quantitative analysis of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s grants to WHO, 2000-2024
WHO's reliance on earmarked voluntary contributions means that global health challenges favoured by major donors' are well funded while other issues receive insufficient funding. As one of WHO's biggest donors, BMGF contributes to this problem by pursuing its narrow approach to global public health - one that focuses on technical solutions to infectious diseases - through WHO.
