GENEVA: The list of candidates to lead the World Health Organisation (WHO) and rebuild its battered reputation after its slow response to West Africa’s deadly Ebola outbreak was whittled down to three on Wednesday, with a final choice due in May.
The UN agency said those left in the race were Ethiopian Foreign Minister Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, medical doctor David Nabarro who served as UN envoy on Ebola, and Sania Nishtar, the Pakistani founder of a health think tank Heartfile who served one year as a federal minister. The next WHO chief will replace Margaret Chan, who took over its reins 10 years ago.
