7. Wilhelm, Ian. "Gates Foundation accused by U.N. official of creating scientific 'cartel'". Chronicle of Philanthropy vol. 20 (6 March 2008) p. 15.
Abstract: An official at the World Health Organization has criticized the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for their methods of funding global antimalaria efforts. Dr. Arata Kochi claims that the foundation’s decision-making processes are closed and internalized, and that scientists may be afraid of questioning the research of other Gates-funded scientists, out of fear of losing Gates Foundation funding themselves. The foundation has responded that it has many ways in which it collects feedback on its global health investments.
