Dr. Mary Moran was a member of the WHO Expert Working Group on R&D financing. According to one WHO official, she was also hired by the World Health Organization to write key sections of the report, managed the selection criteria, ended up giving her own proposal the highest rating, and was asked by the WHO to address the May 13th consultations with WHO member states. Yesterday Dr. Moran approached me in part to ask that she not be identified as an employee of the George Institute. “I rent office space from the George Institute, I’m not an employee,” she said. Mary said that she works for a for-profit firm that she owns.
Malini Aisola subsequently asked Dr. Moran if her for-profit consulting firm had pharmaceutical company clients. Dr. Moran declined to answer the question.
