"Are we watching the rebirth of the troubled Global Fund to Fight Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria, perhaps in a new, more U.S.-flavored guise?"

She writes, "The Fund has been in the mire now for some time after revelations that some of its grants fell into corrupt hands, short of money and unable to agree new grants to developing countries badly in need of disease-fighting programs," adding, "But the dramatic events of the past few days suggest the Global Fund's fortunes might be on the turn as it hits its tenth anniversary."
