Abstract The expansion of private finance in global health is pronounced.
There are fundamental contradictions at the heart of this change, between the health concerns of the poorest communities and the financial returns of wealthy investors.
The global health community needs to do more to learn about how private finance works and to challenge common fallacies and false narratives.
Advocacy must be strengthened for existing alternative models of financing and governance, including debt justice and tax justice initiatives.
