Overview
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) played crucial roles in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the CDC focusing on the US response and the WHO coordinating a global response. While both organizations shared similar goals, their approaches and outcomes differed in several key areas. The CDC's response was shaped by its relationship with the [[us-department-of-health-and-human-services|US Department of Health and Human Services]], while the WHO worked closely with [[world-leaders|world leaders]] to coordinate a unified global response.
