The director general of WHO Tedros says “believe in permanent improvements”, the constancy of change and remains open to suggestions from the United States and other member states.
In addition, the withdrawal order refers to the alleged “mismanagement by the WHO of the Pandemic of Covid-19”.
On another level, Washington criticizes the WHO for being “unable to show independence from the inappropriate political influence” of its member states, above all accusing the UN agency for depending on China. But the Director General denies any political link with certain countries compared to other member states. “We exist to help all countries and all citizens around the world,” insisted the WHO chief.
Dr. Tedros said that WHO is trying to assist its members every time it can, but it says “no” when requests are not based on science.
The withdrawal of Washington is synonymous with a sharp drop in his budget, the director general had already announced first measures to reduce costs a few days after the American announcement. “Even before the United States announcement, WHO faced a deficit due to the economic difficulties experienced by many countries. The United States’s announcement has worsened the situation and we have announced a series of measures, “said Dr. Tedros.
