The Ebola outbreak in West Africa exemplifies both the successes and failures of global health governance as a secondary institution within international society. On the one hand, the international community recognized the need to respond to the Ebola outbreak, contributing large sums of money and mobilizing resources on a scale never before seen. On the other hand, the World Health Organization dithered in its response, the international community did not have quick and easy access to needed funding and personnel, and few states paid attention to the warnings coming from various non-governmental organizations that were providing on-the-ground medical services. This chapter critically analyses how various global health actors responded to the Ebola outbreak, discusses the shortcomings of that response, and looks at the various proposals to reform the World Health Organization and other bodies following their mishandling of the situation.
