Main Body
The recent signing of WHO's withdrawal bill by Donald Trump despite lack of an exit clause has put up question on its effectiveness.
Crisis of Capacity and Credibility:
1Mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of vaccine availability
2Accusation of corruption and bribery of top officials by China
3An effective generic medicines regime has not been put in place
4Rise in global Non-communicable diseases burden & 60.9 lakh deaths in India (2019)
5Lack of funding - 'USA' was a
major funder.
6Lack of action against emerging issues & (Nipah Virus)
7Lack of help provision in conflict ridden areas like Palestine
Way forward:
1Liberal institutional reform - give powers and justices to Global South
2Collaboration with civil society & 'Doctors without Borders'
3Usage of Social exchanges and donor contribution
4Effective skilling of ground level workers
The WHO decline can be arrested through a targeted focus on institutional reform and a responsible diversification of power towards other, vital India.
