Tedros Adanom Gebreyesus
The world is on the brink of a moral catastrophe, says the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adan Ghebreyesus. He warned about this at a meeting of the Executive Committee, reports Twitter of the organization.
“I’ll say it bluntly: the world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral mistake – and the price of this mistake will be human lives and the very opportunity to live in the poorest countries of the world,” the glory of Gebreyesus cites the WHO account.
He pointed out that the 49 richest countries have already received more than 39 million doses of the vaccine, while one of the poorest countries has received only 25 vaccines. Plans to provide people from different countries with equal access to vaccinations are under threat, he said.
At the end of December, the head of WHO warned that the world will face new tests in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. He urged countries to share information to better manage the new SARS-CoV-2 mutations.
