ResumoThe sudden death of Lee Jong-wook leaves WHO in neither long-term confusion nor chaos. This stability, a tribute to Lee, is in stark contrast to past occasions when director-generals have departed in far more orderly circumstances. As we pointed out last week,1 Lee successfully translated Gro Harlem Brundtland's health for development manifesto into a series of well-planned, often bold, yet incompletely executed initiatives that were beginning to revitalise WHO's mandate as a global public-health agency.
