YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe World Health Organization has come under fire over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic, with President Trump cutting all U.S. funding for the U.N. health agency in April. But WHO adviser Lawrence Gostin says the organization has actually done well in the pandemic, despite a miniscule budget and political interference.

Gostin is a professor at Georgetown University, where he is the O’Neill chair in Global Health Law.
