WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was reappointed to a second five-year term on Tuesday by the U.N. health agency\u2019s member countries.\u00a0CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/em>.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

No other candidate challenged Tedros for the post amid the ongoing difficulties of responding to the devastating coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThis is overwhelming,\u201d Tedros said, after another World Health Organization official asked everyone in the room to stand and applaud him. Fighting back tears, Tedros described himself as \u201ca child of war\u201d after signing the contract for his extension. He said that after witnessing his younger brother\u2019s death at an early age, it was \u201cluck (that) brought me all the way here.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Tedros, a former government minister from Ethiopia, has directed WHO throughout its management of the global response to COVID-19 and withstood occasionally withering criticism over its multiple missteps. He is the first African to lead the agency and the only director-general not qualified as a medical doctor.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

He is also the first WHO leader not to be supported by their home country; Ethiopia has previously accused Tedros of \u201c misconduct \u201d after his sharp criticism of the war and humanitarian crisis there and raised concerns about his leadership on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t likely to mutate rapidly. Scientists drafted by WHO to investigate the coronavirus\u2019 origins in China said the critical probe was \u201c stalled \u201d last year, after issuing a report that even Tedros acknowledged had prematurely ruled out the possibility of a laboratory leak.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cThere have been some mishaps, but Tedros has also been a steady voice throughout the pandemic, advocating for an equitable response,\u201d said Javier Guzman, director of global health policy at the Center for Global Development in Washington.<\/p>\n

He said despite reservations about Tedros\u2019 leadership, some countries weren\u2019t willing to push for change.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe are in the middle of the pandemic and there is some pressure for consistent leadership to take us through this difficult moment,\u201d Guzman said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Tedros has frequently railed against rich countries for hoarding the world\u2019s limited supply of vaccines and insisted that pharmaceuticals aren\u2019t doing enough to make their medicines available to the poor. Amid the near-universal focus on Ukraine after the Russian invasion, Tedros slammed the global community for not doing enough to solve crises elsewhere, including Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan, arguing that it was possibly because those suffering weren\u2019t white.<\/p>\n

Still, critics say Tedros has failed on some fundamental issues, like holding staff accountable after allegations that dozens of outbreak workers managed by WHO sexually abused young women in Congo during an Ebola outbreak that began in 2018, in one of the biggest sex scandals in U.N. history. None of the senior WHO managers alerted to the abuse allegations and who did little to stop the exploitation, have been fired.<\/p>\n

In January, The Associated Press reported that staffers in WHO\u2019s Western Pacific office filed an internal complaint accusing regional director Dr. Takeshi Kasai of abusive, racist and other misconduct, undermining efforts to stem the spread of COVID-19. In response, Tedros said an investigation into the allegations had been launched and promised to act \u201cwith urgency.\u201d<\/p>\n

But last week, several WHO staffers wrote to the agency\u2019s Executive Board complaining that Kasai \u201chas been able to continue his unethical, abusive and racist conduct without any form of restriction.\u201d In an email to staff, Kasai disputed the charges.<\/p>\n

Public health expert Guzman said the apparent culture of impunity at WHO was problematic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do need to see a stronger (WHO) director-general going forward, where misconduct is not tolerated,\u201d he said, calling for extensive reforms to make the agency accountable.<\/p>\n

As Tedros begins his second term, some experts have also raised concerns that WHO isn\u2019t fulfilling its primary role as a technical agency providing science-based guidance to countries.<\/p>\n

Dr. David Tomlinson, a cardiologist who has campaigned for better protective equipment for health workers in Britain\u2019s health system, says he has been appalled by WHO advice, most notably their reluctance to acknowledge that COVID-19 is widely spread in the air. In July 2020, more than 230 scientists published a paper appealing to WHO to recognize the coronavirus was airborne; that later prompted the organization to alter some of its recommendations.<\/p>\n

Tomlinson and others say Tedros should ensure WHO\u2019s top priority during future health emergencies is evaluating the science.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have perpetuated untruths that have ultimately led to the deaths of millions of people,\u201d he said, citing the estimated 15 million people who have died during the pandemic. \u201cWe need an agency that\u2019s unafraid to tell the truth, but that\u2019s unfortunately not what we have.\u201d\u00a0CLICK HERE TO JOIN OUR WHATSAPP GROUP<\/em>.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
