The Director General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanum Guerberesus in Geneva, said on Monday that the organization is facing a deficit of $ 1.7 billion within the next two years.
The financial crisis of the World Health Organization originated from the withdrawal of the United States and Argentina from the UN Organization, which was established in 1948.
The United States contributed about five expenses of the World Health Organization.
The Health Organization has already reduced its planned budget for two years 2026 and 2027 by about 20% to 2.1 billion dollars annually.
Tedros said that this number is not enough, and that it is equivalent to what is spent on military equipment all over the world every 8 hours.
Tidros added that the World Health Organization reduced the Supreme Management Authority from 14 to 7 jobs and the number of departments from 76 to 34.
Among the departures is Mike Ryan, the emergency response coordinator, who was famous during the Corona virus in the Kofid-19, for its general press conferences.
The number of employees all over the world will be reduced by 20% from about 9500 employees.
In fact, the United States is still a city for the World Health Organization at about $ 130 million for 2025, although it is unlikely that these funds will be paid.
The United States ’withdrawal from the World Health Organization will enter into force at the beginning of 2026.
Tedros’s comments came on the first day of the 8 -day annual assembly meeting in Geneva.
The meeting will focus mainly on the official adoption of a long -awaited international treaty on global panels.
The agreement, which was set at a standard speed in response to the lessons learned from the Kofid-19 pandemic, aims to prevent the chaos in the global stampede on medical supplies and ensure the distribution of vaccines more fairly in future health crises.
The treaty is to be officially approved tomorrow, Tuesday.
