Sick Development Episode 2 - The Key Man
In this episode, we will dig deeper into how the controversial and unsubstantiated idea that for-profit private healthcare is key to ending health poverty in lower income countries, and how private equity funds became the vehicle of choice for so many government-backed healthcare investments.
