Geneva, IANS. Emphasizing the importance of people’s lives and quarantined politics, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) dismissed the allegations made by US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo. The head of the organization said that the statement that Ponpio has made regarding the relationship between China and the UN health body is not true nor can it be accepted.

During the daily briefing on Thursday, WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the WHO’s entire focus is on saving lives and such statements will not distract the organization and we do not want the entire international The community deviated from such statements. The Bloomberg report cited sources who were present at the meeting of Ponpio and UK MPs in London on Tuesday. According to this report, Ponpio alleged that a deal was signed for the position of Director General of WHO and resulted in the deaths of British citizens from the corona virus. At the same time, Tedros reiterated that the politicization of the Kovid-19 epidemic is one of the major threats because it is neither aware of the borders nor political parties.

Tedros said, ‘I have said this many times. Politics should be quarantined on Kovid-19 and I am again appealing to all countries to earn together. Things will get worse with politics. Therefore, the most important is science, solutions and solidarity. ‘ I say again that there is no truth in the allegations and there is no basis for this. In a briefing on Thursday, Mike Ryan (executive director of the organization’s Health Emergencies Program) expressed support for Tedros, saying that it was a matter of pride to sit with Doctor Tedros. He said, ‘Our organization and their leadership are interlinked. We work to save lives.
