Saima Wazed was appointed as the World Health Organization’s South-East Asia director, ahead of Nepalese professor Shambhu Acharya, today.
“I look forward to building a healthier South-East Asia,” Wazed posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, after being chosen to head an 11-nation region that is home to a quarter of the world’s population. Wazed posts on X “under the username @drSaimaWazed, presumably on the strength of an honorary doctorate she was awarded earlier this year by a Bangladeshi university named after her grandfather”, the Lancet added.
Wazed last month rejected claims of nepotism, pointing out she had been appointed as Bangladesh’s chief advisor for its strategic mental health plan.
