(Re)-Construyendo una OMS para la gente / (Re-)Making a People’s WHO
Resumen
Entre el alboroto causado por la retirada del gobierno de los EUA de la OMS, una cuestión crucial suele dejarse de lado: la influencia antidemocrática que las corporaciones transnacionales, las organizaciones filantrópicas y sus poderosos países asociados, que ejercen sobre la OMS. Sostenemos que esta situación debe ser revertida si se quiere relegitimar el poder y la competencia de la organización.Citas
