World Health Organisation

The is preparing to launch an appeal for more than $US1 billion [$1.5 billion] to fund operations against the coronavirus pandemic.The Organisation will release a plan in coming days

The appeal comes in the same week that US President Donald Trump accused the WHO of a bias towards China Now 100 days since the WHO was alerted to the first case of COVID-19, and after more than $US800 million [$1.2 billion] having already been pledged or received, the organisation says it will release a revised strategy plan and new funding appeal.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus believes the pandemic is much more than a health crisis, requiring a whole-of government & society response. "For the past 100 days, our unwavering commitment has been to serve all people of the world with equity, objectivity and neutrality. That will continue to be our sole focus in the days, weeks and months ahead," Dr Tedros said.

WHO have made themselves irrelevant and worse distrusted. Every government as a priority will be looking at what is in their countries best interests - funding an international body that failed to be timely or transparent will go in the ‘not a priority’ pile. auspol Australia

Guilty as charged.

WHO Director-General resigns first and WHO apologises for what it did (e.g. Praised what China did and acted whatever China told it to do) and didn't do (e.g. warned the world about the coronavirus in advance) since January. Then other countries can consider to donate money.

WHO is corrupt to the core. Stop all funding !!

When they can say 'Taiwan Taiwan Taiwan' we'll take notice.

Dr Tedros needs to go and take a few other people with him.

Why would anyone give them one cent After They covered up for China

CHO

Pay them more for what? Releasing deliberate misinformation. The CCP should be paying this bill and many more.

WHO can only provide info, they can’t force countries to react. They can only take camel to the water.

That guy .. director general whatever .. i dont think is worthy to be trusted .. hes corrupt! He should resign ..

This will go down about as well as Albanese asking the PM if he plans to give the ABC any more money!

WHO What are you doing? Why you doing this? You should declare World Pandemic back in January. Banning travelers in/out of China Banning all cruise ship Introducing Social Distance And many more you should do in January but you praised China

Please make all cheques payable to: Chinese Communist Party Propoganda team c/o Xi Jinping

Tell him he’s dreaming.

World Class Action against Wuhan or Chinese Govt for creating this worldwide epidemic? Or at least get China to 'cough up' some $$. No, I don't dislike the Chinese; they are great contributors in all communities around the globe. But Govt needs to shoulder some responsibility.

The only thing to know about WHO is, the chief, a war criminal without a medical degree needs to be arrested for condoning 'crimes against humanity' by constantly spreading misinformation, perhaps even complicit with the ultra psychopaths who created this covid19 bioweapon!

WHO is responsible for this economic crisis causing huge numbers of unemployment along with numerous other problems and WHO got the audacity to ask for money? Go ask the filthy rich ultra psychopath who invested millions of dollars creating this covid19 bioweapon. Outrageous

What actually they doing for that kind of money ?

Only one country needs to be paying this bill

What a great caption... I hardly need any more information.

I wouldn't give them a cent when they could've prevented this mess.
