Abstract

In 2006 Warren Buffett announced that he would donate the majority of his fortune of US$ 30 billion to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in annual shares of about US$ 1.5 billion.1 Only then did a wider public notice that private foundations had increasingly become involved in international health issues, and what kind of ‘health colossus’ (McMahon, 2006) had emerged since 1999, when the Gates Foundation was created.2
