Taiwan Criticizes WHO 'Indifference' After Summit Snub

Taiwan has criticized the “indifference” of the World Health Organization concerning the health rights of the people of Taiwan, according to Reuters.  

The WHO’s decision-making body, the World Health Assembly, begins its annual meeting Monday in Geneva, but Taiwan has not been invited because it says the assembly has given into pressure from China. “As a professional international health body, the World Health Organization should serve the health and welfare of all humanity and not capitulate to the political interests of a certain member,” Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu and Health Minister Chen Shih-chung said in a joint statement.
