In this file photograph taken on May 22, 2022, World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus delivers a speech on the opening day of 75th World Health Assembly of the World Health Organisation (WHO) in Geneva. His re-election was announced to thundering applause during the World Health Organization’s main annual assembly, after receiving more than two-thirds of secret-ballot votes cast, as need to be appointed. "I am really, really overwhelmed by the support," Tedros told the assembly. The 57-year-old malaria expert has also increasingly been sounding the alarm over the heavy toll that conflicts like the war in Ukraine are taking on global health. With a trembling voice, he pointed out that he himself was "a child of war... from a poor family".
