Infectious diseases alone have historically claimed more lives than wars - be it the "Spanish flu" after World War I or AIDS, malaria, polio and tuberculosis. Together they cost millions of lives every year. A multitude of actors are active in the global health world in the fight against these pathogens, but among this myriad one actor has received little research attention to date: philanthropic foundations. As a result, the question of the efficiency of philanthropic foundations remained largely unaddressed in the scientific discourse. The present work therefore explores what philanthropic foundations can achieve as actors in the global health world and how good they are at it - because philanthropic foundations play an increasingly important role in global health and development policy at the global level, such as spending in show these areas. The focus of the analysis is the work of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the context of tuberculosis research. A detailed breakdown of problem areas in the global research area provides the basis for analyzing the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's commitment to tuberculosis research. The author thus shows where the strengths and weaknesses of foundations lie - and thus also provides an impetus for the question of the importance of philanthropy as an instrument in global health governance.
