CUGH Denounces Decision to Halt Funding to the WHO
In a letter from CUGH's leadership to U.S. Congress, CUGH denounces President Trump's decision to halt funding to the World Health Organization. Cutting funding to the WHO will eviscerate its capacity to address the current pandemic and the many other public health challenges the world faces. This is the time to support the organization, not undermine it. Read the full letter here.
Tackling the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences from Asia
The SARS-CoV-2 virus spilled over from an animal host to a person late last year in China creating a pandemic that is raging around the world.

This webinar features three leading global health experts from the region who will share what worked in their battle against the virus.
