The goal of the Pacific Health Summit is to connect science, industry, and policy for a healthier world....

History
The first Pacific Health Summit was held in Seattle, Washington in 2005 with foundational support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Russell Family Foundation.[1] It was the co-creation of 2001 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine winner Leland H. Hartwell, businessman and philanthropist George F. Russell Jr., Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation William H. Gates Sr., and Founding Director of the National Bureau of Asian Research’s Center for Health and Aging Michael Birt.[2] NBR has been the Secretariat of the Summit since the inaugural 2005 conference...

Building on Bill Gates Sr.'s strong personal support, in 2007 Tachi Yamada, then President of Global Health at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, took on a decisive leadership role and formally established the Foundation as the Summit's third co-presenting organization.

In 2008, the Wellcome Trust joined the Summit as the fourth official co-presenting organization, and Trust Director, Sir Mark Walport, joined our Executive Committee. Both Sir William Castell, Chairman of the Wellcome Trust, who has participated in the Summit since its first year, and Sir Mark provided crucial leadership as the Summit began its rotation in London for the annual meeting.

Peter Neupert, then Corporate Vice President for Health Solutions Strategy for Microsoft, and Craig Mundie, Chief Research and Strategy Officer of Microsoft, consistently provided a private sector perspective to the Summit's strategic discussions. Additionally, GE Healthcare, through Bill Castell in 2005, has always provided critical advice and perspective, as well as the critical founding sponsorship for the annual meeting.

Outcomes
The Summit has been a catalyst for partnerships, and the setting of several global health announcements.[3] In 2007, during a speech[4] at the Summit, Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization, publicized “a new initiative to establish a world stockpile of vaccines to prepare for the threat of pandemic influenza.”[5] At the Summit in 2009, Sanofi bolstered that stockpile with 100 million donated doses of flu vaccine.[6] Other partnerships furthered by, or formed at, the Summit have helped to lead to the establishment of the MSD Wellcome Trust Hilleman Laboratories,[7] the Access to Nutrition Index, the Critical Path to TB Drug Regimens,[8] and a cervical cancer vaccination deal between Merck & Co. and Qiagen.[9] Additionally, the denial of a US visa for 2009 Summit participant Paul Thorn of the Tuberculosis Survival Project, due to his HIV positive status, became the impetus behind the repeal of a US travel restriction law on individuals carrying the HIV/AIDs virus.

The role of American ambassadors

The investigation of Delo attempting to untangle the tentacles of the United Group's ownership structure made one thing clear: the owners were hiding behind a series of veils. What was less clear was whether Solak was one of the owners or one of the veils.

Solak did not operate alone. His overseas financiers, including KKR, were majority partners in all of his operations. They were the ones who allowed him to retain his position at the head of the United Group and who were keeping a watchful eye over his spectacular rise from the very beginnings, according to a diplomatic cable of the US Embassy in Belgrade revealed by WikiLeaks. It is unfortunate that this source, although readily available on the internet, has not been considered so far...Polt's successor, Cameron Munter, continued his post-diplomatic career at Mid Europa as an advisor to SBB / Telemach during negotiations with Petraeus in 2013. ..

One of their biggest proponents of expanding BioPort’s contracts was working for HHS [Department of Health and Human Services] at the time — Jerome Hauer, a man who not only had foreknowledge of the anthrax attacks, but had also participated in the Dark Winter simulation that would also predict those same attacks just months prior. Hauer would, months later, be appointed to a newly created position at HHS, one which oversaw the new biodefense stockpile from which BioPort would be a major beneficiary...BioPort would be then renamed and repackaged as Emergent Biosolutions in 2004...

The much-anticipated Luxor International Forum will gather business, arts and media leading personalities to take action against human trafficking. This landmark event is organized by End Human Trafficking Now! (EHTN!) in collaboration with UN.GIFT, and it will take place in Luxor, Egypt, on 10 - 12 December 2010... An eLearning tool for the private sector will be launched by UN.GIFT and EHTN! at the forum. The online course consists of a modular training programme for business leaders, managers and employees of business companies. [The tool itself will be presented by Microsoft's Regional President for the Middle East and Africa. https://archive.is/j25eI]

Human Trafficking, Awareness raising, UN.GIFTUN.GIFT and UNODC will also present two exhibitions in Luxor: Welcome to Gulu, by artist and UN Goodwill Ambassador Ross Bleckner, featuring paintings by former child soldiers; and Vulnerability, exploitation and action a photo documentation on child trafficking by Alessandro Scotti.

The event will also be an opportunity for the business community to take leadership in the fight against trafficking while strengthening partnerships at all levels, as identified in the recently launched UN General Assembly's Global Plan of Action. Luxor will also be a platform to support victims through the United Nations Voluntary Trust Fund for Victims of Trafficking Persons, launched in November by the Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon.

The world premier of Not My Life, a documentary on human trafficking directed and produced by Academy Award nominee Robert Beilheimer with support from UN.GIFT will be aired, along with the documentary, Playground, produced by George Clooney, Grant Heslov and Steven Soderbergh. Personalities such as Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and UNODC's Goodwill ambassadors Mira Sorvino and Nicolas Cage are attending the Conference, amongst other business and media leaders.

American painter Ross Bleckner was recently appointed to be the UN Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking. His work has been known internationally more than 20 years but Bleckner is not as well known as the celebrities the U.N. often picks for such ceremonial duties. Bleckner has been working to rehabilitate former child soldiers and abducted girls in Gulu, Uganda, through art therapy.

2009, Secretary-General and celebrities unite against human trafficking https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/frontpag ... -gala.html

Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon yesterday led international calls for strong laws, broad alliances and concerted action against human trafficking at a special thematic dialogue of the General Assembly...The evening before, Academy-award winning actor Nicholas Cage, Alec Baldwin, fashion designers Calvin Klein and Donna Karan, and a host of other celebrities joined the Secretary-General in honouring New York artist Ross Bleckner, appointed UN Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking. The event featured an exhibition of some 200 paintings created by former child soldiers and abducted girls from Gulu, northern Uganda, who had benefited from an art therapy project by Bleckner.

POLITICAL ARTISTS can be ruthless agents for change when need be, even when knocking down a set of tenpins. They certainly were last Monday night, when Visual AIDS, the artist-activist organization born at a peak of the AIDS pandemic in 1988, honored three shameless humanitarians at its fourth annual bowling-for-dollars benefit on Chelsea Piers...

Art dealers Jack Shainman, Brent Sikkema and Michael Jenkins, Pavel Zoubok, and Matthew Marks’s Jeffrey Peabody helped host the affair, which was joyously gay in every sense of the word. .. Collector Diane Ackerman proved something of a superwoman of the alleys (as well as an indefatigable cheerleader), stopping only long enough for the presentation of the awards—snow globes—to critic Douglas Crimp and artists Nayland Blake and Hunter Reynolds.

..There aren’t many people, much less artists, who could bring Calvin Klein, Alec Baldwin, New York First Lady Michelle Paterson, Republican fund-raiser and cosmetics exec Georgette Mosbacher, Beastie Boy Adam Yauch, designer Rachel Roy, actress Famke Janssen, Page Six editor Richard Johnson, Eric Fischl, Brice and Helen Marden, and a tall man in a ten-gallon black hat to one room without anyone having to force a smile. ..

The ceremony, sponsored by the UN’s Office on Drugs and Crime (and underwritten by Egyptian businessman Shafik Gabr), included valedictory speeches not just by Ban but also by Nicolas Cage, who began by saying, “I’m here not as an actor but as someone who cares about children.”..... “It isn’t often that the UN has so many bold-faced names in one room,” Ban told the crowd, as Eli and Edythe Broad left for the auction at Sotheby’s. “You could be at more fabulous parties and in more glamorous locations, but you are here because you care about putting an end to human trafficking.”

A lawsuit brought against artist Ross Bleckner by his former assistant Cody Gilman has been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount. The settlement was reached on August 4, and the suit has been dismissed with prejudice, which means that Gilman cannot file suit against Bleckner again.

A representative for New York’s Petzel gallery, which represents Bleckner, said that Bleckner and Gilman had both signed NDAs and therefore could not comment. ..Bleckner and Gilman’s dueling suits unfurled a web of allegations of sexual harassment, assault, and extortion. They centered around a relationship that allegedly impacted both parties’ work and personal lives. According to Gilman, the relationship had been a professional one, and he alleged that Bleckner had sexually harassed him. According to Bleckner, the relationship was consensual; he accused Gilman of using the sexual harassment claims to extort him for $2 million.

Bleckner, whose work has been featured in two Whitney Biennials and was given a Guggenheim Museum retrospective in 1995, met Gilman, who has previously done modeling work, through a dating website, though the lawsuits provide two differing dates for when and how the two began their relationship...

Peter Neupert started at Microsoft in the 1990s and late came back for a second stint to launch a health group...When he was taking the CEO job of Drugstore.com in 1998, he spent a few days shadowing Jeff Bezos, who helped recruit him for the position...

Jeff Bezos’s ambitions in health care are no longer a secret. Between the Haven partnership with J.P. Morgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway, his company’s stealthy work in cancer research, investments in health clinics for employees and last year’s $753 million purchase of online drug seller PillPack, the Amazon CEO is openly taking on the $3.5 trillion health-care industry.

While most of those developments are very recent, Bezos has had his eyes on this market for over two decades. Nobody knows that better than Peter Neupert, who became CEO of online pharmacy Drugstore.com in 1998, after Bezos recruited him for the job in tandem with Amazon’s investment in the company.

It was the beginning of a long relationship between the two and their effort to apply emerging technologies to life sciences. Neupert went on to Microsoft, his second stint at the company, where he led a new health solutions group. He left in 2012 and has since been a sought-after advisor for hospitals, biotech companies and start-ups....

...Amazon is hiring aggressively at PillPack to become a major player in prescription delivery and is exploring a host of efforts to bring down the cost of care. Neupert is on the board of medical lab company LabCorp, as well as Adaptive Biotechnologies, which recently went public, and a couple early-stage ventures. He’s also on the board of trustees at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

...Neupert was working for Bill Gates at Microsoft, where he’d launched the MSNBC network as a joint venture with NBC. He was approached by John Doerr of venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins about a new start-up that aimed to sell prescription medicines, beauty products and over-the-counter drugs online. Doerr, an early Amazon investor and board member at the time, brought Bezos along for the recruiting meeting.

..In April 1999, two months after Drugstore announced the investment from Amazon and Kleiner Perkins, Bezos and Neupert appeared together on Charlie Rose. The host asked Neupert why a consumer would rather buy from Drugstore than their local pharmacy.

The Seattle Flu Study has been mentioned a few times in the media since the outbreak, including this New York Times article and this press release from the Gates Foundation.

Funded by Bill Gates:

Originally designed to create a community-wide network to detect infectious disease outbreaks, the Seattle Flu Study explores innovative ways to track the spread of viruses across a large urban area using methods including rapid virus genetic sequencing and mapping chains of transmission.

The study is led by the Brotman Baty Institute, in collaboration with UW Medicine, The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Seattle Children’s. It was launched in 2018 and has received more than $20 million in funding support from Gates Ventures (the private office of Bill Gates). It operates with technical guidance from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and local and national public health authorities.

The Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network (SCAN) is a public health surveillance program established in response to the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic. SCAN originated in March 2020 as a partnership between the Public Health department of Seattle and King County in Washington, USA and the Seattle Flu Study. SCAN's predecessor, the Seattle Flu Study, reported the first known case of community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in the United States. [What a cohencidence!]

The greater Seattle Coronavirus Assessment Network originated from the Seattle Flu Study, a public health surveillance program established in 2018. The Seattle Flu Study tracked the spread of bacterial and viral respiratory infections, including influenza, in the greater Seattle area by collecting nasal swabs from volunteers in the community...

SCAN began as a partnership between the Seattle Flu Study and Public Health - Seattle and King County. It is affiliated with the Brotman Baty Institute, a collaboration between the University of Washington School of Medicine, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, and Seattle Children's. It has received technical support from the Institute for Disease Modeling, Amazon Care, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). SCAN is funded by Gates Ventures

Re: Investigation into Responsibility for Recent Anthrax Incidents

Monday, December 10, 2001

While I was able to monitor only a portion of the Committee’s hearings of Wednesday, December 5,
2001 (as broadcast by C-SPAN), at which Messrs. Spertzel and Alibek and Ms. Harris testified concerning responsibility for the recent anthrax incidents, I was struck by the absence of references by the
witnesses and by members of the Committee to certain matters of potential significance. Interestingly,
these appear also to have been ignored in course of law-enforcement and related investigations of these
incidents and by the news media....

... In early March 2000 at his home in Irvine, Orange County, California, Larry C. Ford, M.D., died of
a shotgun blast. His death was later ruled a suicide, notwithstanding the fact that his firearms had supposedly been confiscated by the police several days before, after the attempted murder of his business
partner, a crime for which he was a principal suspect. Only later was it revealed that Ford had served
as a consultant to both the CIA and the chemical- and biological-weapons program of the South African Defense Forces, headed by Wouter Basson. Ford’s contributions to Basson’s program included
lecturers on converting ordinary items into lethal biological weapons. After Ford’s death his Irvine
neighborhood was evacuated for several days as federal authorities excavated a weapons’ bunker in
Ford’s yard and removed samples of various toxic biological agents found in Ford’s refrigerators. The
specific biological agents found in Ford’s home have never been identified by the authorities, nor have
they reported if any toxic agents were found in the university and other laboratories used by Ford. An
initially frenzied FBI investigation quickly became quiescent. One Ford associate reports that Ford
had been in contact with BioPort Corporation, sole U.S. manufacturer of anthrax vaccine..

Ford’s colleague Wouter Basson, M.D., headed the South African biowarfare program from its
inception in the late 1970s until it was nominally abandoned in 1993. Arrested in 1997 on charges of
murder, embezzlement and drug violations, Basson’s trial commenced in 1999 and continues today. Sessions of Basson’s South African trail were held in Florida in January 2000 to hear testimony
of attorney David R. Webster, who had created a complex of off-shore companies and accounts
through which Basson operated.9 Revelations in the course of his trial include: Basson claims to have
enjoyed access to the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases [AMRIID] and
Porton Down, respectively the principal U.S. and U.K. chemical-biological warfare establishments.
Basson was involved in several undertakings (of an undetermined nature) withLibyans and made numerous trips to Libya, continuing after his program was terminated (leading to successful British and
U.S. demands that he be reemployed, and controlled, by the South African government). He also had
established relationships in the U.S.S.R. and in a number of eastern and western European countries.
South African responsibility for a major anthrax outbreak in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1979 is
currently being investigated. Basson is alleged to have developed such means of delivery of biological
agents as, e.g., anthrax-laced cigarettes..

In the early 1980s a significant part of the “civilian” component of the British Porton Down complex,
the Centre for Applied Microbiology and Research [CAMR], was privatized as Porton International,
a creation of Wensley Haydon-Baillie, who reputedly became one of the 50 wealthiest persons in
Britain as a result of what was alleged to have been politicalfavoritismin the acquisition of government
assets by Porton International. At least by the early 1990s Ibrahim and Fuad El-Hibri acquired an
interest in Porton International and/or related Proton Down spin-offs, Porton Products and Speywood
Holdings, and were instrumental in obtaining anthrax vaccine in the U.K. for Saudi Arabia. In 1997 the
U.S. Department of Defense awarded a defense-biologics contract in excess of $300 million to Dynport LLC, which is a joint venture of Porton International and U.S. defense contractor Dyncorp. By
the late 1990s Haydon-Baillie had lost control of Porton International(accused of personal enrichment
at the expense of the company), entered bankruptcy and been arrested for tax fraud. Haydon-Baillie’s
current activities have not been reported, but his history is instructive with reference to the careers of
those who have secured control of significant components of the biowarfare complex..

...By a process reminiscent of Haydon-Baillie’s creation of Porton International, in 1998 Ibrahim and
Fuad El-Hibri and AdmiralWilliam J. Crowe, Jr., who had just returned froma posting as ambassador to the United Kingdom, created BioPort Corporation, which acquired the State of Michigan’s
Biological Products Laboratory, the principal function of which was the production of anthrax vaccine
for the U.S. Department of Defense. This “privatization” of a state laboratory was highly questionable
in a number of respects. The managers of the public laboratory, director Robert Myers and deputy
director Robert van Ravenswaay (an attorney on the state’s central administrative staff assigned to
oversee the privatization process), appear to have insured that the successful bidder (one of only two
final bidders) would give them a significant share of the ownership (as much as 32 percent) of the new
entity. AdmiralCrowe obtained his interest (approximately 13 percent) as what appears to have been
a “gift” of the El-Hibris. Together, the ownership interests of Crowe and Nancy Grunenwald El-Hibri
were claimed to give American citizens majority ownership, even prior to Fuad El-Hibri’s adoption of
American citizenship. ...

Wouter Basson (born 6 July 1950) is a South African cardiologist and former head of the country's secret chemical and biological warfare project, Project Coast, during the apartheid era.[1] Nicknamed "Dr. Death" by the press for his alleged actions in apartheid South Africa, Basson was acquitted in 2002 of 67 charges, after having been suspended from his military post with full pay in 1999.[2]

Among other charges, Basson was alleged to have supplied a "lethal triple cocktail of powerful muscle relaxants which were used during Operation Duel (the systematic elimination of SWAPO prisoners of war and South African Defence Force [SADF] members who posed a threat to South African covert operations).[3][4] The United Nations report "Project Coast: Apartheid's Chemical and Biological Warfare Programme."[1] identifies the triple cocktail as ketamine, succinylcholine, and tubocurarine.[1]

In 2021, the revelation that he was working at a Western Cape Mediclinic facility caused consternation and protests against the company.

Mediclinic is a diversified international private healthcare services group, founded in South Africa in 1983, with divisions in Switzerland, Southern Africa (South Africa and Namibia), and the United Arab Emirates.

In 2006, Mediclinic reached agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Emirates Healthcare in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which then owned one hospital, the rights to develop two further hospitals in the Dubai Healthcare City and five clinics.[3]

Mediclinic acquired Hirslanden, the largest private hospital group in Switzerland, for SF2.54bn in 2007.[3]

In June 2015, Mediclinic then acquired a 29.9% interest in Spire Healthcare, a UK-based private healthcare group.

Ian Paterson, a breast surgeon who worked at Bupa hospitals in Solihull and Sutton Coldfield, latterly run by Spire Healthcare,[6] was convicted of 17 counts of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm and three counts of unlawful wounding in respect of 10 patients.[7] 350 patients who had been treated privately at Spire clinics are pursuing civil action against him and against the company. According to Thompsons Solicitors, Spire had allowed him to operate well after 2012, when he had been suspended by the General Medical Council.[8] Spire's statement was "What Mr Paterson did in our hospitals, in other private hospitals, and in the NHS absolutely should not have happened, and today justice has been done."[9] He has been jailed for 20 years and £37 million allocated for compensation

Paterson was employed by the Heart of England NHS trust in 1998 despite having previously been suspended from Good Hope hospital in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham. He also practised at Spire Healthcare hospitals in the Midlands over a 13-year period...

Speaking on the steps of the court, Diane Green, who was not a named victim in the trial but underwent such a procedure at Paterson’s hands, said others who worked with the surgeon now needed to be investigated. “He has been stopped, but we need to look to those who were co-conspirators, who let this go on, who saw this happening and said nothing,” she said.

“I lost my home, I lost my marriage, I lost my health, I lost my job, I lost absolutely everything. He took everything away from me. This has been going on since the 90s and only today have I got justice. He took away my youth.”

West Midlands police said they had investigated those linked to Paterson, but that further charges would be considered only if fresh information came to light.

John Ingram said: “I think there was a big space in the dock. Mr Paterson was in there on his own. There are some people who think there should have been a corporate entity in that dock, and that is the corporate entity that allowed him to carry out this dreadful system within their building.”..

Spire Healthcare, which runs Parkway and Little Aston hospitals where Paterson practised, has settled some cases, but argue that as Paterson was not technically their employee, they are not responsible for his actions. The company would not provide any details about the compensation paid. After the sentenced was passed down, a Spire spokesman said the company was “truly sorry for the distress caused to Paterson’s victims”.

..Charlie Massey, chief executive and registrar of the GMC, said the medical world was now “fundamentally different”, but added: “It is absolutely right that questions are asked about how this happened and more crucially how the health system can prevent it from happening again.”

Charlie Massey has recently been appointed to take over from Niall Dickson as Chief Executive later in 2016.

The General Medical Council (GMC) is a public body that maintains the official register of medical practitioners within the United Kingdom...

In July 2010 the GMC was severely criticized in an open letter in the British Medical Journal by Professionals Against Child Abuse for the decision to include Penny Mellor on the GMC's Expert Group on Child Protection. According to the letter, Penny Mellor had been convicted and imprisoned for conspiring to abduct a child, and had led protracted hostile campaigns including false allegations against doctors and other professionals involved in child protection cases. She had also campaigned against Sir Roy Meadow and Professor David Southall, who were erased from the medical register by the GMC but subsequently re-instated after court rulings.[63] Penny Mellor subsequently resigned from the Expert Group...

Controversy arose in July 2016 when the General Medical Council announced it would be appointing Charlie Massey as its new CEO.[66] Massey had been an adviser to health secretary Jeremy Hunt on the controversial Junior doctors contract, which had led to several days of industrial action by doctors over concerns about feasibility and patient safety.[67] Many doctors felt this reflected a clear conflict of interest and signed a petition to the medical council for transparency in its appointment process. The medical council issued a response claiming that they were still an independent body.[68] Massey had also signally failed to distinguish himself in front of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament...

The Council is composed of six medical professionals and six lay members.[69] The current Chair of the General Medical Council is Dame Clare Marx,[70] the first woman to be chair of the GMC. The current chief executive and registrar is Charlie Massey.

Niall Forbes Ross Dickson CBE (born 5 November 1953) is chief executive of the NHS Confederation, a position he has held since 1 February 2017.[1] It was announced on 4 June 2020 that he would step down from this position in October 2020.[2]

Between 2010 and 2016 he served as chief executive and registrar of the General Medical Council (GMC),[3] and led the International Association of Medical Regulatory Authorities (IAMRA) until 2016.[4] Previously, Dickson worked as chief executive of the King’s Fund, from 2004 to 2009, after a career in journalism.

Donald and I hid a lot of things regarding Shipman. To distract the public, we blamed the doctors and now happily punish them. No one must of course know that the reason Shipman existed was because of our incompetence. No one must know about the meeting to reverse the findings for the Bristol Doctors either. Its all about how good you keep the secrets and what you make people believe. You can make people believe anything with a lean mean publicity machine.
