A RESTRUCTURED WHO: INTERACTIVE ORGANOGRAM

Dear Readers,

Today we share the organogram of a restructured World Health Organization through an interactive chart.

We hope you find this tool useful. My colleague Selina Noe has built this tool based on publicly available information. The tool enables you to view how the leadership at WHO has been restructured and who sits where at the headquarters in Geneva by using a lateral drop down menu.

This is part of our offerings to , a new product GHF Plus: Global Health Policy Intelligence, that we launched last year.

If you are interested in this offering, and want to have a chat, just hit reply to this email!

GHF Plus - our premium offering includes quarterly thematic reports, tools, with our signature analyses and insights. In addition, you can also ask us any questions you may have on the field, in a thirty-minute call with us every quarter where we are also happy to share our expertise and take you behind-the-scenes.

In case you missed it, our first report in August: How Geopolitics Has Reshaped Global Biomedical Investments in 2025.

And a second one in November: Beyond the Breakthrough: The Uneven Geography of mRNA Vaccine Production.
