He said that after witnessing his younger brother's death at an early age, it was luck (that) brought me all the way here. Tedros, a former government minister from Ethiopia, has directed the World Health Organization throughout its management of the global response to COVID-19 and withstood occasionally withering criticism over its multiple missteps.

Under Tedros, the U.N. health agency failed to call out countries including China for blunders that WHO officials grumbled about privately, advised against mask-wearing for months, and said initially that the coronavirus wasn't likely to mutate rapidly. Scientists drafted by WHO to investigate the coronavirus' origins in China said the critical probe was stalled last year, after issuing a report that even Tedros acknowledged had prematurely ruled out the possibility of a laboratory leak. There have been some mishaps, but Tedros has also been a steady voice throughout the pandemic, advocating for an equitable response, said Javier Guzman, director of global health policy at the Center for Global Development in Washington. He said despite reservations about Tedros' leadership, some countries weren't willing to push for change.

But last week, several WHO staffers wrote to the agency's Executive Board complaining that Kasai has been able to continue his unethical, abusive and racist conduct without any form of restriction. In an email to staff, Kasai disputed the charges. Public health expert Guzman said the apparent culture of impunity at WHO was problematic. We do need to see a stronger (WHO) director-general going forward, where misconduct is not tolerated, he said, calling for extensive reforms to make the agency accountable. As Tedros begins his second term, some experts have also raised concerns that WHO isn't fulfilling its primary role as a technical agency providing science-based guidance to countries.

The centre will be backed by an investment of $250 million. An agreement to the effect was signed between the global health agency and the Government of India on Friday. According to WHO’s estimates, nearly 80% people across the world use some or the other form of traditional medicine. Traditional medicine-use has been reported in 170 out of 194 WHO member states. Therefore, many governments have called upon the agency to create a body of knowledge on traditional medicine practices and products. This is the purpose that the Global Centre for Traditional Medicine seeks to serve. Also Read | 'Dehumanizing': At least 64 health facilities attacked in Ukraine, says WHO,On the traditional medicine centre in India, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “For many millions of people around the world, traditional medicine is the first port of call to treat many diseases…This centre will help to harness the power of science to strengthen the evidence base for traditional medicine.” ,Traditional medicine is the sum total of knowledge, skills and indigenous practices that different cultures have used over time to maintain health and prevent, diagnose and treat physical and mental illness. Ayurvedic medicine, acupuncture and herbal mixtures are all part of traditional medicine. ,Right now, health systems of nations are ill-equipped to integrate traditional medicine workers, accredited courses, health facilities and expenditures. ,After the agreement was signed, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on Twitter: “It is heartening to learn about the signing of the Host Country Agreement for the establishment of Global Centre for Traditional Medicine (GCTM).” ,“Through various initiatives, our government has been tireless in its endeavour to make preventive and curative healthcare, affordable and accessible to all. May the global centre at Jamnagar help in providing the best healthcare solutions to the world.” ,Over the years, traditional medicine has found greater use in modern science. Nearly 40% of approved pharmaceutical products are derived from natural substances. The contraceptive pill was developed from the roots of wild yam plants, aspirin developed from the bark of the willow tree and child cancer treatments have been based on the rosy periwinkle.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"The World Health Organization,the Global Centre for Traditional Medicine,India,Adhanom Ghebreyesus,Indian,Narendra Modi,Jamnagar","originalPublishedOn":"2022-03-26T12:30:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"w7nmdn8STJfR","slug":"english/global-rise-in-covid-cases-just-tip-of-the-iceberg-says-who","slugV2":"india/global-rise-in-covid-cases-just-tip-of-the-iceberg-says-who-607259/","title":"Global rise in COVID cases just ‘tip of the iceberg,’ says WHO","postType":1,"coverMedia":"/opoyi_NdjNOSY50.jpg","coverCaption":"There has been an 8% increase in global coronavirus cases (Photo Credit: Unsplash/Representational)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-03-17T12:15:00+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003e43,000 people died of COVID over the last week\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eEurope, Africa and the Western Pacific region seeing a spike\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eIsrael reported a new COVID-19 variant\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1647497873769,\\\"strCount\\\":3251,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Nearly 11 million\\\\n\u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/india/india-reports-2539-fresh-covid-19-cases-60-deaths-in-last-24-hours-334906/\\\\\\\"\u003enew COVID-19 cases\u003c/a\u003e were reported over the last week registering an 8% increase\\\\nin \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/world/ukraine-war-may-drive-surge-in-covid-other-infectious-diseases-warn-doctors-466514/\\\\\\\"\u003eglobal coronavirus cases\u003c/a\u003e.

Australia, for example, has taken what critics have called a “let it rip” approach, where all curbs have been lifted in the hope that sufficient disease spread will lead to some form of herd immunity.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"28.6139","longitude":"77.209","name":"New Delhi, Delhi, India","city":"Delhi"},"keywords":"['Omicron', ' Omicron BA2', ' WHO', ' Omicron spread']","originalPublishedOn":"2022-02-02T11:00:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"GnlSgcy6F4vJ","slug":"english/who-urges-countries-to-work-together-to-end-pandemic","slugV2":"health/who-urges-countries-to-work-together-to-end-pandemic-317577/","title":"WHO urges countries to work together to end pandemic","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://images.opoyi.net/opoyi_UbV8KMChd.jpg","coverCaption":"WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus (Photo credit: AP)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2022-01-24T18:45:01+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWorld Health Organization's director-general urged countries to work together to end the pandemic's acute phase\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eTedros claimed that the countries now had all the instruments they need\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eHe was speaking at a press conference with Svenja Schulze, Germany's development minister\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1643030046971,\\\"strCount\\\":2753,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"The World Health Organization's director-general on Monday urged countries to work together to end the pandemic's acute phase, claiming that they now had all the instruments they need.\\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said, “The \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/india/karnataka-reports-significant-rise-in-covid-cases-among-children-under-10-255717/\\\\\\\"\u003eCOVID-19\u003c/a\u003e pandemic is now entering its third year and we are at a critical juncture.” He was speaking at a press conference with Svenja Schulze, Germany's development minister.\\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Also read:\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/india/omicron-replaces-delta-variant-across-the-world-287150/\\\\\\\"\u003eOmicron replaces Delta variant across the world\u003c/a\u003e\\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"\\\\\\\"We must work together to bring the acute phase of this pandemic to an end.

It is now the dominant variant in the United States and parts of Europe. Also Read: How long do you spread omicron? Ideal COVID-19 self-isolation period,According to WHO's figures, the number of COVID cases recorded worldwide increased by 11% last week compared with the previous week, with nearly 4.99 million newly reported from December 20-26. New cases in Europe were up 3% while those in the Americas rose 39% and there was a 7% increase in Africa. The global gain followed a gradual increase since October. Also Read: US records the highest number of COVID-19 cases yet,WHO's emergencies chief, Dr. Michael Ryan, said it will be important in the coming weeks to suppress transmission of both variants to the minimum that we can. Ryan said that omicron infections began largely among young people, but what we haven't seen is the omicron wave fully established in the broader population. And I'm a little nervous to make positive predictions until we see how well the vaccine protection is going to work in those older and more vulnerable populations.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Omicron, Delta, COVID, WHO, COVID tsunami,","originalPublishedOn":"2021-12-30T02:40:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"d4bi7z6mLJNL","slug":"tedros-adhanom-ghebreyesus-set-to-remain-who-chief-for-another-term","slugV2":"health/tedros-adhanom-ghebreyesus-set-to-remain-who-chief-for-another-term-251558/","title":"Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus set to remain WHO chief for another term","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_mue4DiHSl.jpg","coverCaption":"Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is set to remain the WHO director-general for another term (Photo Credit: PTI)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-10-29T19:55:00+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus will continue to serve as director-general of the top health agency\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eTedros has led the WHO during the COVID-19 pandemic\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eFrance, Germany and several other EU states have supported Ghebreyesus\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1635516470567,\\\"strCount\\\":2782,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"\u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/sago-work-may-be-the-last-chance-to-know-the-origin-of-coronavirus-who?utm_source=copy-share\u0026amp;utm_medium=web\u0026amp;utm_campaign=none\\\\\\\"\u003eTedros Adhanom\\\\nGhebreyesus\u003c/a\u003e, the director general of the \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/who-intensifies-search-for-covid-origins-appoints-panel-of-experts?utm_source=copy-share\u0026amp;utm_medium=web\u0026amp;utm_campaign=none\\\\\\\"\u003eWorld Health Organization\u003c/a\u003e (WHO), is on\\\\ncourse to serve a second term as the chief of the top health body.

Scientists inside and outside the government have been divided in recent days over the need for boosters and who should get them, and the World Health Organization has strongly objected to rich nations giving a third round of shots when poor countries don't have enough vaccine for their first. ,Also Read | On booster shots: Is 'follow the science' Biden racing ahead of experts?,The panel, made up of outside experts who advise the Food and Drug Administration, weighed a less than clear-cut case: While research suggests immunity levels in those who have been vaccinated wane over time and boosters can reverse that, the Pfizer vaccine is still highly protective against severe illness and death, even amid the spread of the highly contagious delta variant. ,The FDA experts were scheduled to vote on one basic question: Does the evidence show that a Pfizer booster would be safe and effective for people 16 and older? In the event of a yes vote, the FDA is expected to quickly approve boosters for Pfizer's shot. Also Read | Can smaller booster doses help increase COVID vaccine supply?,But that is just one step in the process. The more thorny question of who should get the shots and when will be debated next week by advisers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC generally adopts the group's recommendations, which set policy for U.S. vaccination campaigns. Some group members have made clear they favor giving third doses to older people, nursing home residents and front-line health care workers, rather than all adults. Also Read | US officials call for booster COVID vaccine shots to counter falling efficacy,Separate FDA and CDC decisions will be needed for people who received the Moderna or J\u0026J shots can get boosters. Friday's meeting came as the delta variant continues to drive U.S. cases and deaths back to levels not seen since last winter. That has given urgency to efforts by top health officials to shore up Americans' protection against the virus. Dr. Peter Marks, FDA's top vaccine regulator, acknowledged the intense disagreements in opening remarks to the agency's advisory panel. ,Also Read | Johnson \u0026 Johnson bats for COVID vaccine boosters, says studies back it,We know there may be differing opinions in interpreting the data, he said. We strongly encourage all the different viewpoints to be voiced and discussed regarding the data which is complex and evolving. President Joe Biden's top health advisers, including the heads of the FDA and CDC, first announced plans for widespread booster shots a month ago, targeting the week of Sept. 20 as an all-but-certain start date. It said boosters would be dispensed eight months after the second dose of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. But that was before FDA staff scientists had completed their own assessments of the data. Some experts questioned whether Biden was breaking his own pledge to follow the science on COVID-19 by getting out ahead of government scientists. Earlier this week, two top FDA vaccine reviewers joined a group of international scientists in publishing an editorial rejecting the need for boosters in healthy people. The scientists said continuing studies show the shots are working well despite the delta variant. Pfizer was expected Friday to present data suggesting immunity from its vaccine begins to wane somewhere around six to eight months after the second dose. ,The panel was also set to hear from Israeli health officials, who began offering boosters over the summer. Officials there tracked about 1 million people 60 and older and found that those who got the extra shot were far less likely to become infected soon afterward.","portalUser":{"id":"kQKU5wG2FUA","name":"Opoyi Central","username":"opoyicentral","photo":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_6k77dlSYd.jpg","role":2,"userType":1},"opinions":[],"liveblogStatus":true,"lastReply":null,"replyUser":null,"userMentions":[],"lastCommentMentions":null,"lastReplyMentions":null,"checkIn":{"latitude":"38.9072","longitude":"-77.0369","name":"Washington D.C., DC, USA","city":"Washington"},"keywords":"Covid-19 booster shot, booster shot, booster vaccine, Pfizer booster vaccine, FDA booster, FDA vaccine booster, CDC vaccine booster","originalPublishedOn":"2021-09-17T19:50:00+05:30"}},{"node":{"id":"biVEBFYfnxdo","slug":"poor-shouldnt-be-satisfied-with-leftovers-who-chief-wants-boosters-halted","slugV2":"health/poor-shouldnt-be-satisfied-with-leftovers-who-chief-wants-boosters-halted-221181/","title":"Poor shouldn’t be satisfied with leftovers: WHO chief wants boosters halted","postType":1,"coverMedia":"https://ik.imagekit.io/o8plo3y5if/opoyi_X6U0gBzGA4T.jpg","coverCaption":"WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus has urged countries to halt booster shots till the end of the year (Photo Credit: PTI/File)","reactionStats":"{\"like_count\":0,\"heartbreak_count\":0,\"laugh_count\":0,\"sad_count\":0,\"angry_count\":0}","updatedOn":"2021-09-09T09:46:34+05:30","highlightSummary":"\u003cul\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eSeveral countries, especially in the developing world, are facing acute vaccine shortages\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eMeanwhile, rich countries are planning booster doses for fully-vaccinated citizens\u003c/li\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eWHO has called for a moratorium on boosters till the end of the year\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e","highlightSummaryFlag":1,"breakingSponsored":0,"coverMediaType":1,"reactionsCount":0,"commentsCount":0,"lastComment":null,"isUpdated":false,"lastCommentUser":null,"trustScore":1,"fakeTrust":2,"content":"{\\\"time\\\":1631160992301,\\\"strCount\\\":2765,\\\"blocks\\\":[{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"The \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/who-is-monitoring-mu-new-coronavirus-variant-can-be-vaccine-resistant?utm_source=copy-share\u0026amp;utm_medium=web\u0026amp;utm_campaign=none\\\\\\\"\u003eWorld Health\\\\nOrganization (WHO)\u003c/a\u003e has called upon countries to delay rollout of booster shots\\\\nas several countries across the world battle shortages of COVID-19 vaccines.\\\\nThe global health agency said that nations should wait at least till the end of\\\\nthe year before rolling out booster doses. \\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"WHO chief Tedros\\\\nAdhanom Ghebreyesus said, “I will not stay silent when the companies and countries\\\\nthat control the global supply of vaccines think the \u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/teachers-should-be-prioritized-for-vaccination-against-covid-19-who?utm_source=copy-share\u0026amp;utm_medium=web\u0026amp;utm_campaign=none\\\\\\\"\u003eworld’s poor should be\\\\nsatisfied with leftovers\u003c/a\u003e.” The WHO chief was speaking from the health agency’s\\\\nGeneva headquarters.\\\"}},{\\\"type\\\":\\\"paragraph\\\",\\\"data\\\":{\\\"text\\\":\\\"Also Read |\u0026nbsp;\u003ca href=\\\\\\\"https://opoyi.com/whats-the-mu-variant-and-will-we-keep-seeing-more-concerning-variants?utm_source=copy-share\u0026amp;utm_medium=web\u0026amp;utm_campaign=none\\\\\\\"\u003eWhat’s the Mu variant?
