Please do take a look at this incredible piece by @TimothyWSchwab in @thenation about the politics of (global) health data production and the role of the @gatesfoundation in shaping what we know and do about health - now past the paywall! https://www.thenation.com/article/society/gates-covid-data-ihme/
As Professors Mahajan and Parkin put it, there is a danger when a single entity - especially one that is not accountable to member-states like @WHO is - becomes the most powerful producer of global health metrics
As @devisridhar and I put it: What does it mean for public organisations to be tied, even indirectly, to a private foundation with particular investment interests to shape the discussion about which global health problems count the most and how we should tackle them?
