Sandi Doughton of the Seattle Times lifts the lid a bit on one of the more exclusive clubs in global health--the Health-8 or H8--meeting this week in Seattle.
Her report documents one more step in the ongoing privatization of global health as power and influence drain away from public groups--like the World Health Organization--to private foundations and non-profit organizations.
Given the reactions in Doughton's article, folks don't seem too concerned about the lack of transparency. After all, it's not like Hilary Clinton having secret talks about health care during her husband's administration or Dick Cheney chatting about energy policy with petroleum execs--right?
