GENEVA, May 23 (Reuters) – The head of the World Health Organization said on Monday that the U.N. health agency must be “at the centre” of a global healthcare system while also acknowledging the need for internal reforms.
“We need a stronger and sustainably financed WHO, at the centre of the global health security architecture,” Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a major speech of the WHO’s annual assembly.
“There have been many calls for WHO to change. And there is no question that more change is needed,” he said.
