The third of the Global Challenges Foundation policy perspective series examines pandemics, the World Health Organization, and which reforms are necessary to prevent future pandemics.

Heymann, the co-author of the report A new understanding of global health security: three interlocking functions as well as professor of infectious disease epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.
