This article is about a larger trend that was going on in the Indian government that involved taking partial control of the Immunization Technical Support Unit, which was formerly fully funded by the Gates Foundation. The decision is seen as part of India's broader clampdown on non-governmental organizations to assert control over decision-making in key policy areas. Last year, India ordered the dismissal of dozens of foreign-funded health experts working on public welfare schemes. The article goes on to quote senior health ministry official Sumia Swaminathan, who, quote, stressed that there were no instances of influence found, and the decision was only in part prompted by a wider perception about foreign funding of the program. Which is to say that, like, the reason for taking control of some of these things... was a concern about influence of foreign people over policy, but upon review, there weren't any actual instances of that.
