The conference on "Philanthropy in Global Health - Governance and Effectiveness Criteria" organised organised by the Basel Institute on Governance in partnership with the Swiss Tropical Institute in Basel on 10 and 1 April 2008 allowed participants to gain a better understanding of new paradigms of the world health situation, in particular with respect to developing countries, that are the result of the massive new influx of private funds into the health sector. While the new funds made available by private charitable organisations such as the Gates Foundation and other organisations is clearly most welcome to assist in solving some of the world’s most pressing health concerns, this development also brings up a number of new challenges.
