“But they should move away from disease-specific funding into health-system strengthening.”

Disease-specific funding goes to research organisations. Health-strengthening funding goes to politicians. Given the history and current state of corruption in many of these client countries, giving them money to strengthen the health system is a very bad idea.

So Gates shouldn't give his money to USG either, is what you're saying?

Irrelevant, the gates foundation doesn't donate to the US.
