WHO proposing to cut jobs and slash budget by a fifth, memo shows

The World Health Organization (WHO) is planning significant budget cuts and job reductions, as outlined in an internal memo. The organization aims to reduce its budget by 20% and cut around 150 jobs, primarily in its Geneva headquarters, to address a projected $300 million deficit. This financial strategy includes a hiring freeze, reducing staff costs, and cutting back on travel and meetings. The WHO's financial difficulties stem from a shortfall in member state contributions, with the U.S. being the largest contributor. These measures are part of a broader effort to manage finances more stringently, with the possibility of further cuts if funding does not improve.
