Leighton Smith Podcast #327 - May 6th 2026 - David Bell

View descriptionShare
 

The International Health Reform Project (IHRP) is aiming to restore a rational framework to the polarised debate surrounding the World Health Organisation (WHO). 

Their intent is to rebuild international health governance on a basis of ethics, evidence, and sovereign responsibility – publishing a report on the subject called ‘The Right to Health Sovereignty'.

David Bell, a member of IHRP, discusses in depth what this report means for the WHO and for the future of global health. 

We also comment on the country whose energy policies are being slammed as nonsense in a scathing critique, and the similarities with the foolishness in New Zealand. 

And as always, we end in the mailroom with Mrs Producer.
