The Big Picture - COVID-19 Crisis: Role of World Health Organisation

The World Health Organisation has hit back at criticism from US president Donald Trump, after he threatened to stop funding the agency over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Trump said he was looking into putting “a hold on money sent to the WHO”, accusing the UN agency of being “very China-centric”. WHO director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus asked not to politicise this virus. On this edition of The Big Picture we analyse the the role of the WHO.
