In the highly charged world of fundraising at top universities, large academic donations are often approached as a competition to build a legacy through branding and high concept. We tend to think that when a well-known company mogul gives an extraordinarily large donation to a prestigious university, the whole process is about establishing the groundwork for building a cutting-edge lab facility or institute that bears his name.
However, the conventional approach is highly ignorant of the economic tension experienced prior to the delivery of comprehensive health services by metropolitan health networks within these cities. Rapidly developing urban centres are challenged by growing population demographics, high costs of infrastructure development, and strict financial regulations.
