WHO Reforms for a Post-Pandemic Future

The need for effective multilateral platforms has arguably never been greater, with existential challenges such as climate change, pandemics, and the threat of nuclear war looming in an increasingly multipolar world. International organisations established in the post-Second World War era must undergo urgent reforms to reflect the changed political dynamics and become more relevant in mobilising global action. This brief focuses on the need for reforms in the World Health Organization (WHO). It advocates for reforms that place global welfare at the heart of prevention, preparedness, and response. These proposed reforms will make WHO more effective and better equipped to address current and future global health challenges.
