The Minister for Foreign Affairs says the World Health Organisation's forgotten it serves the global body of tax-payers who fund it

The US formally withdrew from the W-H-O last week, citing failures during Covid, and repeatedly acting against its interests.

Winston Peters commented online - saying it calls into question the millions New Zealand spends on membership.

He told RNZ this morning that W-H-O has forgotten its mandate, and the original parameters and boundaries they were given.

He says we have a right to question the issue of funding.
