The World Health Organisation

In turbulent times, will we be ready for the next pandemic? To find out, in this episode Jan Eijking is joined by Professor Ilona Kickbusch, a global public health expert with many years of experience working for the World Health Organisation (WHO). They discuss questions including: how has the WHO dealt with past public health crises? How can it learn from that experience? Ilona Kickbusch shares first-hand experience working for the WHO during the HIV/AIDS epidemic, what lessons the organisation has drawn from tackling some of the world’s most difficult public health crises, and how it can reform to be prepared for future challenges.
