“Attacks and hostilities have left Nasser Medical Complex, Al-Amal and Al-Khair hospitals non-functional. These facilities have no oxygen supply, water, electricity or sewage system. The team saw that the Nasser Medical Complex warehouse - which supplies many hospitals in the south - was burning, and severely damaged. It is estimated that fire has destroyed the majority of supplies, including a substantial amount of essential medicines and medical and trauma supplies provided by WHO and partners. The once robust health system in Gaza is broken. WHO and partners stand ready to support reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts, but we need a ceasefire. Nothing else can bring a lasting and humane outcome.”

“WHO team found severe levels of malnutrition, children dying of starvation, serious shortages of fuel, food and medical supplies, hospital buildings destroyed. The situation at Al-Awda Hospital is particularly appalling, as one of the buildings is destroyed. Kamal Adwan Hospital is the only paediatrics hospital in the north of Gaza, and is overwhelmed with patients. The lack of food resulted in the deaths of 10 children. The lack of electricity poses a serious threat to patient care, especially in critical areas like the intensive care unit and the neonatal unit. We appeal to Israel to ensure humanitarian aid can be delivered safely, and regularly. Civilians, especially children, and health staff need scaled-up help immediately. But the key medicine all these patients need is peace. Ceasefire.”

“Reports of forcing the transfer of many patients into a different building are gravely concerning. WHO has warned many times that depriving patients of life-saving care and forcing the movement of the sick and injured could lead to the deterioration of their condition or even death. Patients' health must be prioritised and uninterrupted care in a safe environment must be ensured.”

Next year markets would also have to contend with other issues, ranging from inflationary pressures to policy tightening and geopolitical risks.”

“WHO recommends that countries continued to apply a risk-based and a scientific approach when implementing travel measures … implementing travel measures is being cautioned against. Researchers are working to understand more about the mutations and what they potentially mean for how transmissible or virulent this variant [B.1.1.529] is.”

“The WHO [World Health Organization] has said that it needs more data [related to Sputnik V vaccine], and it needs to go back and inspect some production lines where it saw issues early on. Those re-inspections are a multiweek process, with good reason. It's not something that they just gloss over lightly.”

“WHO has adjusted almost all the air quality guideline levels downwards, warning that exceeding the new … levels is associated with significant risks to health. The accumulated evidence is sufficient to justify actions to reduce population exposure to key air pollutants, not only in particular countries or regions but on a global scale... Every year, exposure to air pollution is estimated to cause seven million premature deaths and result in the loss of millions more healthy years of life.”

“The one recommendation I believe will do the most to strengthen WHO [World Health Organization] and global health security is the recommendation of a treaty on pandemic preparedness and response which could also strengthen relations between member states and foster cooperation. This is an idea whose time has come. A [pandemic] treaty would foster improved sharing, trust and accountability, and provide the solid foundation on which to build other mechanisms for global health security.”

“It is a short meeting. The WHA [World Health Assembly] is only two days and then there are the scientific meetings, but it is meaningful, the participation. For those countries that don't have a diplomatic relationship with Taiwan, they are still interested in some fields and contacted our experts even after they come back.”

“Unless the organization's leadership takes appropriate action, the assembly will once again exclude the vital participation of Taiwan. There is no reasonable justification for Taiwan's continued exclusion from this forum, and the United States calls upon the WHO [World Health Organization] director-general to invite Taiwan to participate as an observer at the WHA [World Health Assembly] - as it has in previous years, prior to objections registered by the government of the People's Republic of China. WHO leadership and all responsible nations should recognize that excluding the interests of 24 million people at the WHA serves only to imperil, not advance, our shared global health objectives. Taiwan is a reliable partner, a vibrant democracy and a force for good in the world, and its exclusion from the WHA would be detrimental to our collective international efforts to get the pandemic under control and prevent future health crises. We urge Taiwan's immediate invitation to the World Health Assembly.”

“The report lacks crucial data, information, and access. It represents a partial and incomplete picture. There was a joint statement, as I noted, that was put out. We also welcome a similar statement from the EU and EU members, sending a clear message that the global community shares these concerns. There are steps from here that we believe should be taken. There's a second stage in this process that we believe should be led by international and independent experts. They should have unfettered access to data. They should be able to ask questions of people who are on the ground at this point in time, and that's a step the WHO could take.”

“The trade war between the US and China will certainly continue, but China still has to improve its human rights record. Anti-China sentiment will still be a global trend for the next 15 years. I don't know what China is trying to do, but Taiwanese are not happy with whatever China is doing to the nation, including its unilateral decision to ban imports of pineapples from Taiwan, frequently having Chinese aircraft enter Taiwan's air defense identification zone and not allowing Taiwan to enter the WHO.”

“The mission of the WHO [World Health Organization] is to get public health information to the world so every country can make the best decisions to keep their citizens safe. The WHO not only failed its mission, but it failed the world when it comes to the coronavirus. They served as a puppet for the Chinese Communist Party - parroting misinformation and helping communist China cover up a global pandemic. Last February, I called on the WHO to do its own in-depth analysis on the extent and origins of the coronavirus. It took them nearly a year to take action and we still have no answer. They are complicit in communist China's effort to isolate Taiwan. There is no reason US taxpayers should be spending hundreds of millions a year, more than any other country, to fund the WHO without significant reform.”

“The Chinese government has provided vigorous help and support to the WHO expert team [in Wuhan] and Chinese experts have shared a great deal of information and research results with them while helping deepen exchanges with the scientists. Tracing the origins of the virus is a complicated scientific question involving many countries and places as well as many clues, and some evidence suggested that the outbreak occurred in the second half of 2019 in many other places around the world. For example, a US CDC report said in December 2019, some blood samples of Americans tested positive for antibodies of COVID-19, which means the epidemic might have occurred at that time, earlier than the first COVID-19 case reported in the country, which was January 21, 2020”

“Transparency and openness is very important for the containment of infectious diseases. If the situation in Wuhan was very well reported to the World Health Organisation and the WHO organised a team and went to Wuhan in mid-December 2019, I think the disease could have been contained and no other countries would have suffered.”
