There’s a lot going on in the world at the moment - Ebola’s back, Puerto Rico is without power and the official estimations of death following the hurricane are being challenged. The WHO’s just met to decide what to do about it all, as well as sorting out universal healthcare, access to medicines, eradicating polio, etc etc.

To make sense of that a little, we grabbed Ashish Jha - Director of the Harvard Global Health Institute to shed some light into how decisions about global health are made, and why he tries to see the world as it actually is - not how he wishes it would be.
