World Health Organization Spends Twice As Much On Travel As On Medical Supplies

Daily Caller: The World Health Organization (WHO) spends twice as much on travel as it does on medical supplies, according to its most recent financial report.

Eight percent of the 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.” read more

The Red Cross, in Washington will not even disclose to the health officials here of how many N95 masks they have. They say they are saving them for a future emergency. The UN, UNICEF and any UN related activity, nada.

    No more US dollars and shut their US presence down. We have plenty of our own disease carriers.

  3. Well Phenry you are right, they’ve help spread Covid-19, and never even gave it a possible thought. They should be stopped. This is a disaster, and we haven’t seen the net results of it. When we do we may just understand that man doesn’t have all the answers, he just tells himself he does. There in is the problem.

  4. Of course, like all crooked politicians, they got to have their expensive trips to exotic locales to confer with other crooked politicians.

    How else are they going to exchange the latest schemes and ideas about how to steal from the people and hide it?
