Former WHO Director Joins Action on World Health

June 13 2025

When I resigned from the World Health Organization in 1999, it was because of their obsession with building an unnecessary, top-heavy bureaucracy. Since then, the problem hasn’t just persisted — it has spiralled out of control. That’s why I’ve joined Action on World Health.

As the former Chief of the WHO Cancer Programme, I saw it all: the waste, the cronyism, the incompetence. Politics often came first, public health second and the response to COVID-19 was just one of the latest failures.

Now the WHO wants even more power through its new Pandemic Treaty and amendments to the International Health Regulations. Binding legal commitments, handed to unelected globalists, is a disaster for democracy, for science, and for freedom.

We don’t need a pandemic treaty. We don’t even need the WHO in its current form.

What we need is real accountability, voluntary collaboration between member states, and a respect for national sovereignty — not a global health regime run from Geneva.

It’s time to say: enough.

Yours sincerely,
Professor Karol Sikora,
Oncologist and former Chief of the WHO Cancer Program
