WHO, on Wednesday, defended itself against criticisms levelled at it by the United States President, Donald Trump, concerning the coronavirus pandemic.

Its director-general, Tedros Ghebreyesus, at a news conference in Geneva, Switzerland advised Mr Trump not to politicise the virus.

According to CNN, the organisation’s initial response to the outbreak “has been increasingly scrutinised as global cases soar over 1 million.”Mr Trump on Tuesday threatened to withhold the U.S. funding for the organisation only to later backtrack. He said on the January 1, just hours after WHO was notified of the first cases, it activated its Incident Management Support Team, to coordinate the response at headquarters, regional and country level.

The United Nations crisis management team was activated in early February to help with the response, he added. “We will do our assessment identifying the strengths and weaknesses,” he said, adding that the WHO wants to learn from the pandemic. Also, it received criticism for a January 14 tweet noting that preliminary investigation by Chinese authorities had found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the coronavirus.
