- The World Health Organization has revoked the appointment of Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador.
- Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the Chief of World Health Organization (WHO), had announced the appointment earlier this week during a speech in Uruguay.
- Public health experts and key WHO donors like Britain, Canada and the United States swiftly denounced any prospective role for Mugabe, saying Zimbabwe's healthcare system has collapsed under his 37 years of authoritarian rule.
