Speaking during a press wide-ranging conference on Friday, Ghebreyesus said corruption relating to personal protective equipment (PPE) during the pandemic was unacceptable.
Answering a question specifically related to South Africa’s PPE scandal, he stated: “If health workers work without PPE, we’re risking their lives. And that also risks the lives of the people they serve.”
The Director-General added: “So it’s criminal and it’s murder and it has to stop.”
“On Friday, protests were held in the Kenyan capital Nairobi over alleged graft during the pandemic, while doctors from a number of the city’s public hospitals went on strike over unpaid wages and a lack of protective equipment,” the broadcaster said.
