The World Health Organization (WHO), the global headquarters for the fight against infectious diseases, has taken an appropriate response to the novel coronavirus since the first report of December 31, 2019 to the present day? It was on January 30, 2020 that the WHO declared an international emergency by admitting "person-to-person" transmission. Why did it take so long? During my stay in Geneva, I was in charge of WHO interviews, and the author, who is familiar with the situation, examined the "initial movement" in detail, and thoroughly examined the WHO measures, including the process of making decisions at the juncture of the spread of the disease and how the international vaccine supply system was established. I will also explain the present state of the international health system, which is closely related to our lives and health.
