This lecture explores the evolution of global health governance, focusing on the World Health Organization (WHO) and philanthropic foundations like the Rockefeller and Gates Foundations. It delves into the historical context of international health conferences, the transition from charity to scientific philanthropy, and the impact of these organizations on public health policies. The discussion also covers the WHO's response to global health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, and the challenges in achieving equitable access to healthcare worldwide.
