Daily Caller: World Health Organization Spends Twice As Much On Travel As On Medical Supplies

World Health Organization Spends Twice As Much On Travel As On Medical Supplies

The World Health Organization (WHO) spends twice as much on travel as it does on medical supplies, according to its most recent financial report.

Eight percent of the WHO’s budget in 2018 went to travel expenses, while just 4% went to medical supplies and materials, the report shows.

“Of total travel expenditure, only 45% was for staff travel, the rest was incurred for non-staff travel, mainly for meeting participants nominated by Member States,” the report states.

I've never been a big fan of anything the UN does, but good Lord, do they do anything other than flush money down the toilet? Any private charity that acted this way would be called a scam.
