WHO Director Race Tests Influence of Europe, Asia, Gulf After US Retreat
The competition to lead the World Health Organization is seen as a pivotal test of which global powers will shape health policy, as the United States steps back.
The upcoming election for the next Director-General of the World Health Organization is emerging as a key indicator of shifting global influence in health governance.
The contest is framed as a test of whether Europe, rising Asian powers, or increasingly assertive Gulf states will take the lead in setting the global health agenda, particularly following America's reduced engagement.
