Global Health Governance in the Age of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed the lack of global cooperation and highlighted a shift towards nationalistic responses. In this masterclass, Genevie Fernandes discussed what went wrong in the global governance of COVID-19, and highlighted lessons for improved and coordinated action to deal with COVID-19, and possibly prevent the next one. Participants identified key actors in the global health landscape, and understood the key challenges in global health governance for COVID-19.
