Political Intrusions into the International Health Regulations Treaty and Its Impact on Management of Rapidly Emerging Zoonotic Pandemics: What History Tells Us	2020-04-13		.txt	text/plain	3812	211	49	For a large number of health care providers world-wide, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is their first experience in population-based care. Gostin and Katz described wide-spread noncompliance to the IHR detailing multiple needed textual and operational reforms, emphasizing that WHO and the IHR "erred at multiple levels during the Ebola epidemic" and WHO failed "to mobilize adequate fiscal and human resources until the epidemic was spinning out of control." 3 In 2015, after the Ebola epidemic, I wrote "the intent of the legally binding Treaty to improve the capacity of all countries to detect, assess, notify, and respond to public health threats has shamefully lapsed," 4 and that global health security demanded both a stronger WHO and a stronger IHR treaty.
