N2  - The World Health Organization (WHO), Pandemics, and COVID-19: How to Proceed With a Multilateral Concept of Global Health? The WHO grew to 194 member states, and with globalization, geopolitical shifts, and internal reorganizations, the lines of influence have become more complex. In 2020, the United States severely endangered multilateralism in health. Recently, the Biden administration has revived US commitment as a major global health player. Yet, the lack of coherence in supporting collective action on global health remains a problem. Global health geopolitics are shifting and China and India have acquired enough power to shape the global health agenda. At the instigation of Germany, health has become a regular topic at Group of Twenty (G20) and G7 meetings – a critical factor during the COVID-19 pandemic. The WHO’s director general frequently states that health is a political choice. Many countries made unfortunate, if not questionable political choices in their responses to COVID-19. But as a matter of fact, they took the wrong turn much earlier when they neglected investments in pandemic preparedness and in the WHO. Countries have the political choice right now to seriously strengthen the WHO, its funding, and its legal power, or to weaken or even destroy one of the most important agencies in the UN system.
