Send Money: W.H.O. Appeals for ‘Quick' $1.5+ Billion in Additional Funding
|
[Breitbart] The World Health Organization (W.H.O.) on Monday issued an appeal from its Geneva, Switzerland, headquarters for upwards of $1.5 billion in additional funding to respond to health crises it sees evolving around the world.
“We aim to reach some 87 million people with life-saving humanitarian assistance this year,” said W.H.O. Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Reuters reports.
Tedros went on to say the money is needed “quickly” by the United Nations agency and will be used “to protect the health of the most vulnerable populations in 41 emergencies around the globe in 2024.”
He further promised “every US$ 1 invested in W.H.O. delivers a return on investment of at least US$ 35” although he did not give evidence to support his claim of the investment return.
The U.S. has been the W.H.O.’s top individual donor in recent years, with Washington contributing more than $400 million to the organization in 2020.

The U.S. taxpayer funds came at the start of the pandemic and the resulting handling of the crisis by the organization quickly led to calls for Tedros to resign.
The public health body’s budget was set at $6.83 billion in 2023, designed to hold over the next two years, including a 20 percent hike in mandatory membership fees.
