Yunus diverted funds intended for Grameen Bank to Grameen Kalyan. https://archive.is/U5VEB http://archive.is/6JPkD

After giving the funds to Grameen Kalyan, Grameen Bank then borrowed the money back from Grameen Kalyan, putting Grameen Bank in debt to its subsidiary. Yunus said the transaction was done for "tax reasons," but Grameen Bank is a non-profit entity and has no tax obligations. http://archive.is/03xV5

Grameen Kalyan is a health provider that offers health microinsurance and partners with Pfizer Inc, GE Healthcare, and Mayo Clinic. It was established in 1996 after being given 10 clinics by Grameen Bank and Grameen Trust. It focuses on preventative care, and if a woman needs a caesarian birth, it will pay only $29 US. http://archive.is/w2umK

At least 1.5 million women in Bangladesh receive home health care services provided by female health assistants. 96% of women in Bangladesh give birth at home, in the presence of midwives with little or no formal training. Grameen Kalyan has difficulty attracting and maintaining doctors, and may have to open its own medical school to do so. http://archive.is/Os0ub This link captures only part of page 97, but the entire page, as well as page 98, is available here:

Here's a job listing for a lab technologist at Grameen Kalyan: http://archive.is/4gPns It says applicants must be males between the ages of 20 and 30, and they must include a photograph with their CV. If health care providers are in short supply in Bangladesh (at least to Grameen Kalyan), why limit this opportunity to men between the ages of 20 and 30?

I challenge the characterization that the midwives don't know what they are doing because I think working as practicing midwife and learning from others in the community is plenty of practice and training. The US/AMA/Rockefeller medical slaughter system just wants to line them up to slice them open like sows and displace the midwives as they were displaced in early modern Europe when women did the same there. This is an excellent expose of the attack of specifically male medicine on these women. Same people, Rockefeller agents. Old, would-be-dead patriarchs.
