The first thing I said to myself when I read it in the news, was Why ?
What is the reason for this promotion ?

Is there a hidden agenda behind this ?

From my knowledge WHO should be neutral in everything-political and religious.

Mr Trumps Mexican Wall good idea just in the wrong place
would it not be more prudent to build that wall 100 miles out to sea down the side of Florida and then curving around the gulf of Mexico like the Thames barrier but on a far bigger scale it would nullify the storm surge when the Hurricanes come calling and would the Mexicans pay for that

It's been a long time since I've been surprised by stupid things the UN does. This is just one in a long string of graft and corruption. The UN is rotten to the core and wasting real estate. Let's move it from New York City to Uganda where it belongs. Let's all quit paying for it too.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations that is concerned with international public health.
