Geneva, (thestates.news)The Director General of the World Health
Organization Dr Tedros Ghebreyesus has appreciated US
contribution to the WHO and indirectly urged US President Donald Trump to
reconsider his decision to pull out of the UN agency.
Kyodo news agency quoted Dr Tedros appreciating US’s contribution to the WHO at
a press conference on Monday. “The world has long benefited from the
strong, collaborative engagement with the government and the people of the
United States…It is WHO’s wish for this collaboration to continue…The US
government and people’s contribution and generosity towards global health over
many decades has been immense, and it has made a great difference in public

with the WHO, labelling the organization a Chinese “puppet” and criticizing

pandemic in China.(uni) (mediasaheb.com)
