WHO may be passé
In the fourth of his five part series, Yamey (p 1294) examines the
relevance and role of WHO in the global health enterprise. The
increasing prominence of the World Bank, Gates Foundation, and
Global Fund as international health financiers threatens
WHO's centrality to international health. But with globalisation
fragmenting the international health landscape, the need for an
overarching health agency is strong. WHO faces ongoing debate and major
challenges to realising its new role.
