Multilateral Institutions and the Future of Global Health​

•••
"With at least half of the world’s population still lacking access to essential health services, the WHO has made it the institution’s goal to ensure that a billion or more people have access to quality, affordable health services. Action on this could represent the reemergence of a much-needed leader in the fractured world of global health.”

•••
“According to the World Bank, South Asia is the fastest growing region economically. For multilateral agencies, this presents key opportunities to showcase the effectiveness of development initiatives, and to demonstrate how economic development and tribal cultures can coexist.”

"China’s recent reaffirmed commitment to managing climate change, coupled with strong evidence of concrete action on the ground, is likely to result in more stringent emissions regulations in the coming years. While this presents obvious risks for manufacturers, there are also business opportunities."
