If we didn't exist, it would need to be created. If WHO did not exist, countries would need to come together to create it. We're part of the United Nations, and we're the health entity of the United Nations coming together. More than 76 years, we just celebrated our 77th birthday. coming together across countries to work together on just one aspect of this. Just think of surveillance, for example.

What is out there? What is circulating? The known pathogens that cause disease, cause death, cause economic disruption, change livelihoods, changes the course of your life. Think of the lives that have been changed for COVID, businesses that closed. You know, the biggest histories and wars were changed because of diseases that were spreading.

What we do is we bring countries together to communicate under international law, the international health regulations, to rapidly share information within 24 hours when there's the detection of certain types of pathogens. We, together with experts from around the world, do risk assessments to say, what does this mean for you?

What is the actual potential that this could cause something really bad? And we warn. We warn the world. You don't have eyes and ears in every country. We do in the sense, and I do not mean this from a detective surveillance point of view, but we have this type of reach in countries because we're working with the member states. We are the secretariat of government.

We don't actually have any power to go into countries to do different things. And I think that's really a critical distinction because people don't necessarily know what WHO does, or if they don't, they believe a lot of the misrepresentation and misinformation about us. Countries have sovereign rights. We don't go in and tell anyone what to do. What we do is we develop evidence-based guidance.

actually other sectors as well, to turn that evidence-based guidance into policy, which obviously there's a lot of other factors, economic factors and political factors, acceptance, trust in governments to work with countries to do that. The world needs, we actually often say we're not just WHO, we're not just the World Health Organization, we're the world's health organization.

And I think that helps, you know, to say that we are here. Our only job, our only job is to keep people safe. We have no other motivation. I just want to say one other thing, Vin, is the budget. You know, we mentioned defense. Our budget at WHO is less than one hospital, one hospital in one city in one high-income country. Less than one hospital in New York City, for example.
