WHO reports 700 million USD in donation pledges

Berlin, Oct 15 (Prensa Latina) The World Health Organization (WHO) informed in this capital on Tuesday that it has received pledges worth 700 million dollars for its 2025-2028 budget from European governments and foundations, in addition to 300 million dollars already pledged by the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU).

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebryesus said in Belin that the H1N1 pandemic showed that when health is at risk, everything is at risk.

Investments in WHO are therefore investments not only in protecting and promoting health, but also in more equitable, stable, and secure societies and economies.

Germany, which said it would provide at least 360 million euros (392.47 million dollars), is the biggest donor to the Geneva-based organization, together with the United States.
