WHO

"Dr Tedros - who has never practised as a medical doctor - is a career politician who was born in what is now Eritrea, began work under the Communist Derg junta, came to study in the UK, then rose to the top of Ethiopia's government first as Health Minister and then Foreign Minister before being elected to lead the WHO in 2017."



How the man running World Health Organisation trashed by Trump as China-centric is a career politician who worked for a Communist junta and became its first NON-doctor Director-General 'following intense lobbying from Beijing'

  • Tedros Ghebreyesus is Director-General of the WHO and leading global response to coronavirus pandemic
  • He studied in the UK before serving at the top of Ethiopia's government and was part of hard-left TPLF party
  • During that time, contributions by China to Ethiopia via various UN programmes increased dramatically  
  • In 2017 he was elected to lead the WHO, amid allegations of heavy lobbying by Chinese diplomats 
  • His response to the pandemic has been heavily criticised, particularly his praise for China's government 
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, a little-known figure before the coronavirus pandemic, has risen to prominence as Director-General of the World Health Organisation which is spearheading global responses to the virus.
Dr Tedros - who has never practised as a medical doctor - is a career politician who was born in what is now Eritrea, began work under the Communist Derg junta, came to study in the UK, then rose to the top of Ethiopia's government first as Health Minister and then Foreign Minister before being elected to lead the WHO in 2017.
He is now facing heavy criticism over his handling of the pandemic, especially for praise he heaped on China's communist party for its response - hailing the regime's 'commitment to transparency' and saying the speed with which it detected the virus was 'beyond words'.
That has led to allegations - mostly recently made by Donald Trump - that the WHO is 'China-centric', a position that the US President has promised to 'look into'.
