WHO Dysfunction and Corruption
The Coalition of Asia Pacific Tobacco Harm Reduction Advocates (CAPHRA) is calling for an urgent review of funding to the WHO’s Western Pacific and Southeast Asia offices, citing governance failures, health inequalities, and corruption concerns. Despite leadership changes and reform promises, CAPHRA claims the WHO continues to prioritize bureaucracy over real action, especially as tobacco-related deaths and noncommunicable diseases remain high. The group warns that continued funding risks supporting a broken system that fails to address critical regional health issues.
