权威医学期刊批评盖茨基金会有“重大偏见”
除了对其投资流向的种种质疑以外，盖茨基金会还几乎未受到外部监督
2009年05月15日08:34
北京时间5月12日消息，据英国著名医学《柳叶刀》（The Lancet）杂志报道，比尔与梅林达盖茨基金会(以下简称“盖茨基金会”)是由比尔盖茨及其妻子梅林达共同创立的慈善组织，1994年成立以来所提供的全球卫生保健基金的数额惊人。
当前，盖茨基金会每年开支约为30亿美元，令全世界开始重新思考挽救低收入群体的更具雄心的良策。盖茨基金会给全球卫生事业带来了活力、可靠性和吸引力。特别是，它开启了科学界对全球卫生事业奉献的新时代。例如，越来越多颇负盛名的基金组织，如美国国立卫生研究院，正是在盖茨基金会的推动下，如今开始更为严肃地承担起帮助各国疾患之人走出困境的责任。
也许，更为重要的是，盖茨基金会孕育的对全球卫生事业新的、负责任的政治承诺。盖茨基金会在许多方面取得了巨大成功。全球疫苗和免疫接种联盟最初在1999年从盖茨基金会获得7.5亿美元的捐赠，如今已成为该组织推动全球卫生事业最重要的捐赠对象。另外，盖茨基金会对位于西雅图的卫生公共网络和评估研究所的积极支持已对国际决策和思想产生了重要影响，是全球卫生项目重要而独立的科学监督机构。
然而，除了对其投资流向的种种质疑以外，盖茨基金会还几乎未受到外部监督。去年，一份调查报告称，盖茨基金会的大部分资金都捐赠给了高收入国家的组织，在疟疾和艾滋病方面的捐赠也存在重大偏见，对肺结核、儿童健康及营养的投入相对不足，同时，从未向慢性病研究投过一分钱。（孝文）
