Who's Who At The World Health Organization HQ: An Interactive Organogram
Newsletter Edition #326 [GHF Plus: Global Health Policy Intelligence]
Dear Readers,
Today we share the organogram of a restructured World Health Organization through an interactive chart.
We hope you find this tool useful. My colleague Selina Noe has built this tool based on publicly available information. The tool enables you to view how the leadership at WHO has been restructured and who sits where at the headquarters in Geneva by using a lateral drop down menu.
This is part of our offerings to our core supporters, a new product GHF Plus: Global Health Policy Intelligence, that we launched last year.
If you are interested in this offering, and want to have a chat, just hit reply to this email!
GHF Plus - our premium offering includes quarterly thematic reports, tools, with our signature analyses and insights. In addition, you can also ask us any questions you may have on the field, in a thirty-minute call with us every quarter where we are also happy to share our expertise and take you behind-the-scenes.
In case you missed it, our first report in August: How Geopolitics Has Reshaped Global Biomedical Investments in 2025.
And a second one in November: Beyond the Breakthrough: The Uneven Geography of mRNA Vaccine Production.
Find our work valuable? Consider become a paying subscriber. Tracking global health policy-making in Geneva is tough and expensive. Help us in raising important questions, and in keeping an ear to the ground. Readers paying for our work helps us meet our costs.
Gratitude to our subscribers who help us contribute to greater accountability in global health.
Best,
Priti
