GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organisation has warned that difficult decisions will be "unavoidable" in an internal memo seen by Reuters on Tuesday 11 March 2025 announcing a recruitment freeze and a one-year limit on new fixed-term contracts.
The WHO has begun "prioritisation" work to make the global health agency sustainable, the document says, adding that staff are working to secure additional funding from countries, private donors and philanthropists
