The World Health Organization (WHO) chief on Thursday rejected as false an allegation by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that he owed his position to a deal with China, AFP reports.
Pompeo had told a private meeting of MPs on Tuesday that the WHO had become a "political" body, alleging that its decisions were influenced by a deal struck between chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and China that helped him become its head.
