Historic Cuts Threaten Global Health Funding

Global health funding is facing unprecedented challenges due to decreased contributions from donor countries, according to WHO Director Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. The current situation represents the most significant disruption to health financing in recent memory, as stated during a press briefing in Geneva.

Global health funding is at a critical juncture as donor nations slash their contributions, warned the director of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, on Thursday.

In a press conference held at the WHO's Geneva headquarters, Ghebreyesus highlighted that the world is experiencing the most severe disruption in health financing seen in recent memory.
