Tulip Mazumdar, the global health correspondent for 蜜芽传媒 News, speaks to Claire Graham about the World Health Organisation鈥檚 successes, failures and future.

Since 1948, the World Health Organization鈥檚 aim has been "the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health". Many would say its greatest achievement has been the eradication of smallpox; in more recent years, some were critical of its response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
