From Aaron Kheriaty, MD: 1948, the WHO could accept donations | Robin Monotti Cory Morningstar

From Aaron Kheriaty, MD:

1948, the WHO could accept donations only from member states. In 2005 they changed their policies to also allow for private funding. Today, only 20% of its funding comes from member states, with the other 80% from private sources, including pharmaceutical companies.

Thirteen percent of the WHO’s funding ($300 million annually) comes from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation—a larger contribution than the United State government.

The WHO’s list of donors also includes AstraZeneca, Bayer, Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and Merck.
