The world is facing "formidable" challenges, including COVID-19, monkeypox, and the war in Ukraine, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) has warned.

The head of the World Health Organization has slammed the global community for its focus on the war in Ukraine an ignoring crises where those suffering are not white.

A full 99 percent of people on Earth breathe air containing too many pollutants, the World Health Organization says.

Blanket vaccine booster programs are likely to prolong the COVID-19 pandemic, as inequity in access to jabs could lead to more mutated variants that drag out the crisis, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO) warns.

WHO urges countries to keep calm and take rational and risk-reduction measures in response to the new, fast-spreading COVID variant Omicron.

Europe has once again become the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic, with a high jump in new deaths compared to the last week, according to the WHO.

“The first thing I want to say to the victims and survivors... I am sorry,” said Tedros Adhanom.
