WHO Spends Twice as Much on Travel as on Medical Supplies!

The World Health Organization spends twice as much on travel as it does on medical supplies, according to its most recent financial report.

Eight percent of WHO’s budget in 2018 went to travel expenses, while just 4% went to medical supplies and materials, the report shows.

“Of total travel expenditure, only 45% was for staff travel, the rest was incurred for non-staff travel, mainly for meeting participants nominated by Member States,” the report states.

WHO’s travel expenditures have faced scrutiny in the past.

The Associated Press reported in 2017 that WHO “routinely has spent about $200 million a year on travel expenses, more than what it doles out to fight some of the biggest problems in public health, including AIDS,

tuberculosis and malaria combined.”

The organization has only barely cut its travel spending since then.

Travel expenses dropped by just 1% between 2017 and 2018, according to WHO’s report.

WHO didn’t return an email seeking comment on whether the organization should have spent more on medical supplies, in light of the shortage that many countries are experiencing as a result of the coronavirus crisis.

WHO, the health arm of the United Nations, has come under fire over its cozy relationship with China.

The organization’s leadership has echoed the Chinese government’s talking points on the virus, providing ammunition for the communist regime in its propaganda war.

If you trust what the    W.H.O. says then you trust what the chinese government says.

That's really too bad.  Thanks for telling us.

Now even though it is common knowledge that any information from Deranged Dildo is of dubious validity, even I have to ask.

What the fuck does how much their executives spend on travel have to do with some Chinese narrative that Derelict Dildo is blowing smoke up our asses about?
