Dr. Robert Kim-Farley, UCLA Fielding School of Public Health professor-in-residence in the departments of Epidemiology and Community Health Sciences. was interviewed on the "AirTalk" program on KPCC-FM (southern California NPR affiliate) on the agreement of the World Health Organization’s member countries on a draft “pandemic treaty” that sets guidelines for how the international community might confront the next global health crisis.

"This really is a historic treaty… I think what we really need to recognize is diseases do not need visas to cross borders. We cannot be isolationists in the world today,”  Kim-Farley said.
