GiveWell spoke with Dr. Maher as part of an investigation of the treatment of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the developing world. Dr. Maher discussed the Wellcome Trust’s approach to funding projects, argued that treatment for NCDs in the developing world is underfunded, and shared thoughts on vertical versus horizontal health systems.
