In this paper, the history of origins and the main characteristics of an ideal global governance are shown. Then, the points of criticism of the opponents of global governance are presented and the main actors of Global Health Governance (GHG) are shown. Afterwards, the two positions come into play, first the performance of GHG is evaluated on the basis of the points of criticism and also attempts to clarify where the difficulties of global governance derive from. In addition, the positive results and supporters of the GHG will be shown. Finally, it is evaluated whether the global governance stands up to this crisis or fails.
