The future of financing for WHO

Statement by People's Health Movement (PHM) to Executive Board of WHO, 20 Jan, 2011

WHO faces a financial crisis. The increasing dependence on extra‐budgetary funds relative to assessed contributions is distorting priority setting. Allocations to the social determinants of health have shrunk while expenditures on medicines are growing although funding to promote the rational use of medicines has almost dried up entirely.
