• What is the purpose and structure of the organization?
• What are the goals of the organization? Why are these important to the organization?
• Who are the leading members? Please provide at least one example. Are these people based only in the Unites States or in other parts of the world? How would this impact US healthcare policy, in your view?
• Summarize the organization’s most significant accomplishments within the global healthcare policy arena.
• If you were a member on the board of this organization, what specific healthcare issue would you like to see as part of their purpose and mission? Please review.
