- Authors

- Abstract
The article focuses on proposed reforms for the World Health Organization (WHO) in the wake of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa in 2014-2015. It states that after the slow response of the WHO in September 2014, the United Nations (UN) created a separate organization to handle the outbreak. It mentions proposed reforms including the creation of a fund for response to fast-moving events like epidemics and setting up guidelines for how foundations and corporations can participate in WHO meetings.
