"WHO plays a crucial role, especially as the pandemic spreads to countries with weak health systems, which is most countries around the world," Council President Ivo Daalder writes in the Chicago Tribune. "They rely on the WHO for guidance and information, for testing kits and protective equipment, and ultimately for treatments and vaccines. A global pandemic requires a global response. And the WHO is critical to its success."
