GENEVA, Switzerland: World Health Organization (WHO) head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Saturday announced an investigation into a 'senior staff' member, the UN agency's Western Pacific chief, over claims of racism and misconduct.

'We have been aware of some concerns since late 2021 and have been following due process. With the cooperation of the staff member, an investigation process was underway,' Tedros said on the final day of the WHO's executive council meeting in Geneva.
