Guillermo Sandoval
Guillermo Sandoval is a health economist at the World Health Organization (WHO) who is instrumental in advocating for health taxes as a means to combat chronic public health issues. He has been involved in the WHO's recent initiative to raise taxes on sugary drinks, alcohol, and tobacco by 50% over the next decade, aiming to reduce consumption of these products while generating significant revenue for healthcare systems. Sandoval's work emphasizes the potential financial impact of such taxes, particularly for middle-income countries, and he is currently exploring broader taxation measures on ultra-processed foods.
