The World Health Organization was founded in 1948 and is a specialized agency of the United Nations whose main objective is “the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health.” The organization provides technical assistance to countries, sets international health standards and guidelines, and collects data on global health issues through the World Health Survey. The WHO has led global public health efforts including the development of an Ebola Vaccine and the near-eradication of polio and smallpox. The organization is run by a decision-making body composed…

I dont understand the question
@EmmaDerGroße10mos10MO
the question is should we continue to support WHO. WHO is a organization formed by the UN to help fight against disease. WHO also gives out the most reliable health studies for free to doctors and citizens alike. WHO was the main force when it came to fighting COVID-19.
governments part of the UN are expected to give funds to WHO, and the question states on should we increase, decrease, etc on funds to the WHO.
for me personally, I believe that we should give WHO more funds to prevent another COVID
After a full investigation is conducted on how WHO handled the COVID crisis, we should adjust our contribution accordingly.
Yes, but only if there is serious reform.
We should only contribute comparable to everyone else, but this would be so that we have more funding for national and local programs.
No, not entirely, however we have many resources and we can share what we have.
Don’t know enough to have a solid decision
tie our funding percentage to match the average funding from top 30 economies of the world.
Yes because diseases are more mobile now than ever before and we are all on this planet together.
Don't understand what the WHO is
I neither think yes or no
@8Z8N5SW4yrs4Y
WHO is corrupt by China (Trying to hide evidence of Covid in China)
Yes but decrease the amount and increase funding for curing diseases diseases are just infieror cells that need to attack kill in order to survive
its not really important to me.
@8YPKDLJ4yrs4Y
Yes, however funds should come alongside those of other nations in order to encourage more funding from others.
Some funding should go to the WHO, but with focus on community/state programs.
@8YCNDSPIndependence4yrs4Y
Yes, but if we have our healthcare issues in order
@8XZJYHP4yrs4Y
Yes but only for drastic situations. (EX: A pandemic)
If the organization proves to help then only a little but if not don't fund it
@8XFDSH44yrs4Y
yes, as long as it's paid for federally and the burden doesn't rest on the citizens.
Yes, but a moderate or comfortable spending number
@8W5TSM44yrs4Y
Maybe, depending on how well the World Health Organization is doing at the time.
@8SM4HJ7Constitution4yrs4Y
No, it has been shown to be susceptible to foreign influence
Yes but not just monetarily but by offering research, specialist expertise and access to technology and vaccines not just money.
Yes, but only if the WHO allows scientists to visit Wuhan and cooperate with the Chinese government in discovering the origin of COVID-19
I do know enough information to form an opinion.
@8RSDT2HConstitution4yrs4Y
@8R8PBSR5yrs5Y
Yes, But Government should make wise spending
Again, I do not know anything about the WHO and feel uncomfortable answering.
@8RCJFRZ5yrs5Y
Yes, but we need to focus on fixing our economy first.
@8R7CMPW5yrs5Y
I think we need to handle our own health care system first before we really invest in helping other countries
Yes but the whole world should be equally funding this
@8QQ3XKFIndependent5yrs5Y
At this moment the WHO have been showed to be irresponsible, not all of those who work there but the top elite. Especially with the whole fiasco of them covering China from the corona virus even though China lied initially.
should we really fund people for saving other peoples lives?
No, until we are out of debt
Move to create an alternative international health organization with democratic allies (i.e. Canada, EU, Japan, South Korea, etc.)
No, It has been corrupted by Chinese influence. Make a World health organization with private funding.
Yes, but give an amount relative to the number of people benefitting from it in the country
Yes, but only if the WHO is reformed
No because it is run almost entirely by China
I do not understand this enough to show my point of view
Yes, but demand more influence for the money that we give. Be harsher.
do not know what this is
Yes, but Tedros Adhanom has to step down
Yes, as long as everyone can contribute to the amount that they can
Yes, until a more effective funding strategy is created.
@8JFBLKH5yrs5Y
We can barely afford to fund ourself no we shouldn't
Leverage funding amount in general and in relation to other nations’ contributions, to course correct.
@8GZR6WN5yrs5Y
i dont have enough information on this at the moment
Yes but hold them accountable for deceiving the public on COVID
Yes, but lower our contribution amount until the WHO: a) recognizes Taiwan as a member state, and b) stops giving China preferential treatment
@8DF52965yrs5Y
Only if they benefit us.
@8DB4KSJ5yrs5Y
No, the WHO should be a collaboration of information between the worlds best and brightest scientists, doctors, etc...
First let's pay off any debts owed. Then contribute a sensible amount to the WHO
The government should pay into the WHO but not completely fund, WHO should be funded by the collection of all world governments
You should not put all of your eggs in one basket. The world may benefit from the government implementing a system that can distribute funding over a wider area. You never know where a breakthrough may come from. Not to mention all the money going to one place encourages corruption.
Each country in the WHO should pay a share
Yes and also fund national and local programs
No the government needs to focus on funding American health care
Depending on the reliability of them.
yes, but our national and local programs should be priority
Yes and no, only deals shall be made.
I will not be a participant in answering this.
@8X8YN574yrs4Y
If the government funned the world health organization we would be living in the future, we need the as much money as we can to get our hospitals bigger and better then they have ever been. We would have much better equipment and a lot better and nicer people working for us.
@8V2GNH84yrs4Y
fund them but have independent docters to
Yes, after Chinese Communist influence within the organization has been curbed.
yes, but it shouldn't affect any research
Yes, with appropriate amounts of money
Yes, and work to increase every nation's contributions.
Yes but dont fund it too much to the point that they are throwing money away otherwise fund national and local programs they should do that anyways, as long as the WHO is doing something good
Yes, relative to the amount that that the EU contributes
