Who’s WHO? From their website, “WHO leads global efforts to expand universal health coverage. We direct and coordinate the world’s response to health emergencies. And we promote healthier lives – from pregnancy care through old age. Our Triple Billion targets outline an ambitious plan for the world to achieve good health for all using science-based policies and programmes.”

A global heath crisis is a health emergency or complex health system that effects the public across multiple international borders. This can negatively impact entire communities and economies.
