Political Hay
The World Harm Organization

It's an appalling record, one of "Bad decisions, missed deadlines and bogus AIDS drugs," complains Waldemar Ingdahl, Director of Eudoxa, a Swedish think tank: "Africans and the poor should not be treated with bad medicine."
The WHO needs a thorough overhaul. Director-General Lee Jong-wook, chosen less than a year ago, needs to assert control over an organization gone badly astray. Most important, it must choose good health over bad politics.
The world faces enormous health care challenges. It's time the WHO lived up to its promise, promoting health rather than harm.
