The World Health Organization (WHO) is proposing to reduce staff numbers and the scale of its work as it slashes its budget by just over one fifth due to the impact of U.S. funding cuts, according to an internal memo seen by Reuters.

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.
