The objective of this study and its consequent report was to trace the influence of the inclusion of private finance in the global health development context through its involvement in current public private partnerships throughout the 21st century. It highlights the impact of private financing, mainly through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, on the subsequent goals and indicators of the partnerships it funds, as well as the ability of those goals to address global health goals set by the MDGs and monitored by the WHO.
