WHO got this? with Dr Ann Kelly, Prof Mauricio Pabon Avendano and more

We begin our first season by exploring the global challenges posed by pandemics. In our first episode, we discuss the organisation at the very heart of the current COVID-19 response – the World Health Organisation (WHO). We survey the landscape of global health and talk about the first stages in responding to a global pandemic, as well as how the current crisis may change the WHO and global health forever, and perhaps our world.Read more: www.kcl.ac.uk/preparing-africa-for-covid-19-learning-lessons-from-the-ebola-outbreak
