The World Health Organisation chief has welcomed efforts to strengthen the Geneva-based body through reform and said that it was looking forward to working closely with the administration of United States President-elect Joe Biden, Reuters reported.
WHO’s funding must become more flexible and predictable to end a “major misalignment” between expectations and available resources, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, citing reform efforts by France, Germany and the European Union.
Tedros urged the international community to recapture a sense of common purpose, adding: “In that spirit we congratulate President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and we look forward to working with this administration very closely.
