Description

Today's episode is part three of a three-part series that gives you an inside look at how the United Nations is commemorating its 75th anniversary this year. This episode includes a 15-minute interview with Kate Dodson, Vice President for Global Health at the United Nations Foundation. We of course discuss the COVID-19 pandemic  -- specifically how the World Health Organization and other United Nations entities are responding. We also discuss what reforms might make the WHO more effective at responding to future global health emergencies.   After that interview concludes, the consultation begins. And for the podcast, I edited this down to include some of the questions and answers discussed.  A big thank you to the UNA-USA for partnering with the podcast around these consultations. (Part one and part two of the series.)
