WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus was re-elected unanimously to the; post for a second five-year term recently by the U.N. health agency’s member countries. Tedros, a former government minister from Ethiopia, has led WHO throughout its management of the global response to COVID-19.
Tedros is the first African to lead the agency and the only director-general not qualified as a medical doctor. A virologist, he is also the first WHO leader not to be supported by his home country; Ethiopia. That country has previously accused Tedros of “misconduct” after his sharp criticism of the war and humanitarian crisis there and raised concerns about his leadership.
