Summary

America First or America Alone? The Trump Administration's decision to pull out of the World Health Organization might seem on brand—but is it? Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, senior leader at WHO, joins Meidas Health host Dr. Vin Gupta to discuss the very real ways a full-scale withdrawal impacts every American, both visibly and behind the scenes. It’s a can’t-miss, honest discussion on why the WHO matters to all of us—and how it is reforming in response to the scrutiny it has received in the wake of COVID-19. Learn more about your ad choices.
