Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to increase UK funding to the World Health Organisation (WHO) as a consequence of the suspension of funding to the WHO by the United States.

Answer

The UK’s funding for WHO is based on our assessment of the organisation’s needs and we continue to keep this under review. We are a key donor to WHO and have already contributed £75 million to help the organisation lead international efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19 and end the pandemic.
