Description
This week with Pr David Heymann and Karina Robinson, we are getting inside the the World Health Organisation (WHO) to learn how WHO is addressing the Covid-19 pandemic, what's working, what's not, and ultimately how the wine trade can plan ahead in such context.
Professor Heymann, teaching at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is now working with the WHO to combat Covid-19. He has spent 22 years working with WHO in Geneva, on secondment from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. He has been at the forefront of battling AIDS, malaria, measles, tuberculosis and polio, and he also coordinated the global response to SARS. In 2009 he was appointed an honorary Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) for his service to global public health.
