Center for Global Development’s “Global Health Policy Blog/Views from the Center”: Where Does WHO Get Its Economic Advice? — Part Two
Amanda Glassman, chief operating officer, senior fellow, and Board secretary at CGD, writes, “My recent blog post on economics at WHO alongside Tony Culyer’s open letter to incoming Director-General Dr. Tedros generated great feedback and discussion. Below, you can find my views on some of the key points made, as well as WHO health economist Melanie Bertram’s response to the letter here.” Glassman concludes, “There is a serious problem in the way the WHO is doing business overall, and better economics is part of the solution” (6/19).
