Where There’s Money, There’s Influence

Wealthy billionaires, foundations, and large corporations from the pharmaceutical industry should not be funding the WHO.

The WHO produces the “Essential Medicines List” – a list of prioritized medicines which it claims represents the most effective, safe, and cost-effective treatments for public health needs, but that list contains medicines that are manufactured by the very same pharmaceutical companies who are giving them money.

Where there’s money, there’s influence – especially as funders get to decide what the WHO spends their money on – and through the NGOs that many of them fund, they get to influence the policies and direction of the WHO.

This has to end! The WHO should only be funded by member states, and therefore led by member states. We're here to make sure its replacement definitely will be!
