Five years after the height of the Covid pandemic, how much better prepared is the EU for the next health crisis?
Host Sarah Wheaton is joined by POLITICO health reporter Helen Collis and global health expert Michel Kazatchkine to discuss the mysterious death of a worker at a Russian anti-plague institute, and what it tells us about international health cooperation and transparency.
They look at what became of Brusselsβ post-Covid ambitions β from the EUβs HERA health-emergency authority to better coordination of research β and at Donald Trumpβs push to bring down US drug prices by putting pressure on Europe to pay more.
