WHO faces a 21% reduction from the original proposed budget for the 2026-27 biennium.

“If we think US$ 2.1 billion a year is ambitious—or $ 4.2 billion for the biennium—then either we must lower our ambitions for what WHO is and does, or we must raise the money.” - @drtedros.who.int

bit.ly/3ZrwCXZ
Text on dark background reads: 4.2 billion dollars for two years – or 2.1 billion a year – is not ambitious, it’s extremely modest. 2.1 billion dollars is the equivalent of: 8 hours of global military expenditure or, 1 stealth bomber or, 3 months’ advertising expenditure by the tobacco industry. "It seems somebody switched the price tags on what is truly valuable in our world." Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General
