The draft resolution on the proposed work program provides for costs of $6.83 billion. It is noted that the budget proposal was adopted without objection, and representatives of almost 40 states spoke during the discussion of the document. Funding is critical for WHO and its participating countries to achieve the so-called "three billion" goals. It is alleged that every dollar invested in the activities of the organization brings a return of $35.

Country contributions to the WHO fund increased by 20%

Budget funds are planned to be distributed in accordance with several strategic priorities. In particular, $1.966 billion will go to the implementation of a program to ensure universal health coverage, an additional 1 billion people - this is one of three goals. The second task is to provide more effective protection in health emergencies for another 1 billion people on the planet: $1.214 billion will be allocated for this. The third goal is to increase the level of health and well-being for an additional 1 billion people: the estimated costs in this area are $437.7 million.

It is said that another $1.35 billion will be spent on improving the effectiveness and effectiveness of WHO, as well as on improving the quality of support that the organization provides to countries. In addition, the approved budget includes several additional items of expenditure: polio eradication ($694.3 million), special programs ($171.7 million), emergency operations and appeals ($1 billion).

As a result of the increase in mandatory contributions, member states will provide funds to the budget in the amount of $1.148 billion. The rest of the $5.686 billion will be secured through voluntary contributions and other sources.^[1]

2022

WHO is removing an article from the site about the harmful effects of depleted uranium on the environment and humans. NATO is preparing such ammunition for Ukraine

The director of the Institute for Health Protection of Workers in the city of Nis shared a story about how the Americans tried to hide the fact of the use of radioactive shells in Yugoslavia and did everything to block Serb data on the danger of such ammunition.

It was not until late 1999 that the information became available to the global public after a Japanese journalist physicist published his report from Nis. This Serbian city was badly damaged during the NATO bombing, and it was the law office from Niš that was the first to prepare lawsuits against the alliance.

Immediately after the strikes on Yugoslavia , the Global Security Foundation issued a report on the dangers of using depleted uranium ammunition. Despite the relatively low radioactivity, the element has a continued effect of 4.5 billion years (!) - while its half-life lasts.

Despite the fact that the North Atlantic Alliance even created a special commission to convince annoying journalists that there would be no long-playing consequences, such materials came out one after another. Already in 2001, the "cancer epidemic," which is observed in the early 2020s in the Balkans, was accurately calculated by a British biologist.

In the same 2001, WHO published a bulletin on the harmful effects of depleted uranium on the environment and humans. Judging by the online archives, in the fall of 2022, the publication was prudently deleted.

Earlier in the early 2010s, The Guardian also told how the UN and WHO hid the consequences of the use of prohibited shells not only in long-suffering Yugoslavia, but also in Iraq.

Dividing people only into men and women is outdated and doctors must abandon it - WHO concept

The World Health Organization in July 2022 announced the need to revise the approach to generally recognized gender norms - now it must become non-binary. "Scientific" experts have published a 146-page report that popularly explains why the belief that people are divided exclusively into men and women is outdated, and health officials should abandon it. All WHO national units are invited to adopt the concept by autumn, according to which gender identity exists in the form of a continuum, and there can be a great many gender variations.

The Assistant Minister of Health of the Russian Federation hastened to criticize the recognition of the "third sex," an interdepartmental group was formed to monitor the situation, and the deputy offices again started talking about the need to leave the international organization. Because the recommendations to doctors to spare the feelings of gender undecided individuals in WHO are not limited.

By 2024, the transition of all medical organizations to a new classification of diseases should be completed, according to which gender dysphoria will finally cease to be considered as a mental deviation, and sexual attraction to children will become just a "pedophile disorder." According to WHO experts, in the first case, psychiatric care is not needed at all, and in the second only in case of distress - the psychological discomfort of the pedophile himself. They are also developing very entertaining sexual education programs about the diversity of genders for preschoolers.

With the filing of WHO, the need to depatologize transsexualism is now quite seriously discussed at scientific conferences and congresses of psychiatrists, at which experts teach Russian specialists to apply new criteria in practice. And employees of a number of Russian NGOs, in fact, engaged in the popularization of trans ideology, have already begun to work with children and are advocating for their access to medical services for gender reassignment.

According to WHO employees, it should be equal to more progressive countries in which gender-affirmative medicine gives transgender children freedom of expression and mental health. In the US, puberty blockers have been prescribed since the age of 16, in Britain you can get a prescription from nine, in Norway - from seven.

Among the arguments is research data, according to which, due to the refusal to access gender reassignment services, there is a growing tendency to teenage suicide. But these studies are carried out by biased organizations sponsored by pharmaceutical campaigns that lobby for the need for such "help" for children, the Rybar telegram channel noted.

At the same time, such a phenomenon as detranzishn is gaining momentum around the world - the victims of consultations of trans-friends of doctors admit that they regret the change of sex, and they simply needed timely psychiatric care, and not a prescription for hormonal drugs.

2020

Establishment of the Pan-European Commission on Health and Sustainable Development

In August 2020, it was announced that the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe is establishing a Pan-European Commission on Health and Sustainable Development. Its task will be to rethink policy priorities in the context of pandemics.

The commission will be headed by former Italian prime minister and former European Union commissioner Professor Mario Monti. Russia will be represented by VEB Chairman Igor Shuvalov. The commission will include former heads of state and government, including former presidents of Finland and Estonia Tarja Halonen and Toomas Hendrik Ilves, former Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmitt.

Its members will also be "outstanding scientists working in the field of life sciences, and economists, heads of departments in charge of health and social services, business leaders and heads of financial institutions."

US suspends WHO funding

On April 14, 2020, WHO lost its largest financial sponsor as US President Trump suspended funding, saying the organization had failed to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.

On May 29, it became known that Washington intends to completely terminate relations with the World Health Organization (WHO), since its leadership refused to carry out the transformations that the US authorities insisted on. This was stated by US President Donald Trump, his speech was broadcast on the White House website.

As the American leader stated, Washington previously announced "what reforms should be implemented" at WHO to preserve the funds provided by the United States in the amount of about $450 million per year. "But they refused to do it," Trump added. "Due to the fact that they refused to implement the required reforms, the need for which is ripe, today we are severing all ties with WHO and redirecting these funds to other urgent and important needs regarding health care in the world."

Trump once again made a statement that China fully controls WHO. According to the US President, the PRC authorities and the WHO leadership have not taken appropriate measures in connection with the spread of the new coronavirus.

2019: First recommendations for digital medicine

At the end of April 2019, the World Health Organization issued the first recommendations on the use of digital technologies in the field of health.

The document, intended for government agencies and public health professionals, sets out 10 recommendations based on a two-year WHO research project. These recommendations include the use of mobile devices to support clinical decision-making, telemedicine, and supply chain management. In each case, WHO provides an overview of the evidence and opinions of experts on technology implementation, as well as its limitations.

For example, in the case of telemedicine, the developers of the recommendations emphasized that these services should complement, and not replace, medical care in the form of a personal presence of a doctor.

World Health Organization Headquarters

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus noted that the use of digital technologies is not an end in itself - they must ensure universal availability of health services. At the same time, digital technology shares many of the problems of the health care system as a whole, including inadequate management, poor training, infrastructure constraints, and lack of access to equipment and supplies.

At least some of these issues are addressed by new recommendations regarding aspects such as data management, patient privacy, and employee training.

WHO has also developed an online platform for the global technology registry, dubbed the Digital Health Atlas, and recommends that developers register relevant projects there. In addition, WHO announced that it is already developing a global strategy for digital health, which is scheduled for release in 2020.^[2]
