W.H.O. Cries Poor as It Faces ‘Existential Crisis’ After U.S. Funding Cuts

The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) began its annual nine-day meeting Monday on the shores of Lake Geneva, Switzerland, with upwards of eight thousand attendees flying in for the event from all around the world. The elites gathered as the United Nations subsidiary began crying poor and publicly doubting its ability to ever again meet crises like the coronavirus epidemic after U.S. funding cuts struck at the heart of its finances.

AP reports Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has been grappling with a response to the U.S. cuts as well as reduced outlays from other traditional Western donors who are favoring defense over humanitarian aid.

President Donald Trump confirmed the U.S. was exiting the agency on the first day of his return to office in January.

Matthew Kavanagh, the director of Georgetown University’s center for Global Health Policy and Politics, said other countries have used the “U.S. disruption” — the cut in aid — “as cover to do their maneuvering, with many countries in Europe reducing aid.”

“The WHO faces an existential crisis that goes well beyond a budget gap to the question of whether this sort of multilateralism can succeed in addressing global health in this new era of nationalism and misinformation,” he said, the AP reported.

It is also grappling with countries questioning the W.H.O. and the efficacy of its response to the coronavirus pandemic.

In the run-up to the assembly, W.H.O. has been slashing cutting costs. Its management has presented a budget for the next two years at just under $4.3 billion, which is 22 percent less than originally planned — largely in response to Western funding cuts, the AP report notes.

A former Ethiopian health and foreign minister, Tedros announced a shake-up of top management that included the exit of key adviser Dr. Michael Ryan from the job as emergencies chief.

As Breitbart News reported, as the coronavirus pandemic first began picking up speed in 2020, Ryan indicate during a press conference that individuals infected with the Chinese virus should be removed from their homes and families to prevent further spread of the deadly disease.

He spoke in the wake of W.H.O. backing China’s claim of “no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission” of the Chinese coronavirus.

Subsequent events proved otherwise.

Tedros previously mourned the loss of U.S. funds and other assistance have left the W.H.O. with a salary gap of more than $500 million.

W.H.O. is “confident” it has commitments for 60 percent of funds for the next two-year budget cycle, but it faces a budget gap of $1.7 billion.
