title: Power in global health agenda-setting: the role of private funding Comment on "Knowledge, moral claims and the exercise of power in global health".
abstract: The editorial by Jeremy Shiffman, "Knowledge, moral claims and the exercise of power in global health", highlights the influence on global health priority-setting of individuals and organizations that do not have a formal political mandate. This sheds light on the way key functions in global health depend on private funding, particularly from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
