Ukraine has written to the World Health Organization’s, WHO, regional chief calling for an urgent meeting on the impact of Russia’s invasion on health and healthcare.
The letter, sent this week by Ukraine’s diplomatic mission in Geneva, Switzerland, where the WHO is headquartered, is signed by some thirty-eight other members of the agency’s European region, including France, Germany and Britain.
Addressed to Europe regional director Hans Kluge, it urged him to convene a meeting “no later than nineth of May” and referred to attacks on health facilities, disrupted vaccination campaigns and concerns about the risk of radiological and chemical events.
