President Donald Trump's statement that the U.S. would end subsidizing to the World Health Organization (WHO), has earned him a tongue-lash from Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, the Director General of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC).

The U.S would deny the WHO of about 15 percent of its financial limit with its defunding.

Trump said the WHO has become too "China-driven", scrutinized the association for its treatment of the pandemic up until now and for pandering to China's impulses and eccentricities.


Trump was broadly censured for his activity, embraced in a pandemic; and Ihekweazu concurs that the U.S. president is way off the mark with his choice. 

"We depend on the WHO for direction, lives are spared on account of the work that they do... we don't have the extravagance on the landmass to develop all the foundation all alone," Ihekweazu said of Africa's circumstance, calling the WHO "basic to our aggregate endurance," Reuters reports. 

He said there will be desperate ramifications for the remainder of the world if the WHO isn't financed right now.

Ihekweazu said "if the financing to WHO is influenced in the manner it might be, at that point there will be a colossal cost for mankind to pay."

Jack Ma as the blessing that continues giving

In a related turn of events, African countries that need ventilators to treat COVID-19 patients will get 300 of the machines from the Jack Ma Foundation, an African Union authority said on Thursday.

As per Ihekweazu, Nigeria started battling the pandemic with approximately 350 ventilators for its 200 million residents. It has since gotten around 100 extra units.

Africa's 54 nations have so far revealed less than 26,000 affirmed instances of the ailment, only a small amount of the in excess of 2,000,000 cases announced all around.

Nonetheless, the WHO has cautioned that the landmass could see upwards of 10 million cases in three to a half year, as indicated by its speculative model.

Nigeria has detailed 981 coronavirus cases at the hour of documenting this.
