The WHO plans to take on global powers to control our lives
This quasi-UN organisation is now almost 90% funded privately, not by governments

Today Facts4EU provides some background to this globalist organisation, which all should know
A Brexit Facts4EU.Org and CIBUK.Org Series
Given the complexity and importance of this subject, we are breaking this down into a total of nine easily-digestible reports, the first of which we published yesterday and the second of which is the one you are reading now.
As this all relates to fundamental freedoms, we believe it is right to give readers all the information. We also think that MPs and the media will want to know the full extent of the threat to individual liberties, to the UK Government's ability to act alone, to sovereignty, and to democracy.
Part One – Executive Summary
Part Two - What is the WHO? Who funds and controls them?
Part Three – Future pandemics and how the WHO will dictate lockdowns and removal of personal freedoms
Part Four - What the WHO pandemic Treaty will do specifically - and how this will affect you - The Treaty
Part Five - The new International Health Regulations - and how they will affect you further
Part Six - How the unelected WHO will take decisions overruling the UK Government
Part Seven - A Facts4EU one-page bulleted summary and conclusions
As with Part I, Facts4EU and CIBUK is producing this series with Philippa D’Arcy. Philippa is ex-CEO of The Rose Partnership and is now a Functional Health Coach.
What is the WHO?
The WHO (World Health Organisation) is the United Nations agency, headquartered in Geneva, responsible for global public health. WHO has 194 member states whose responsibilities are outlined in the International Health Regulations (IHR) set out initially in 1969 and amended in 2005.
These regulations are not currently legally binding and serve as guidance rather than enforceable mandates. In the wake of the Covid-19 event, however, this is set to change.
The history
The WHO was set up after the Second World War as the health arm of the United Nations, to support efforts to improve population health globally. Its constitution was premised on the concept that all people were equal and born with basic inviolable rights. It was intended to put populations in charge of their health.
While the WHO’s Constitution includes a role in coordinating cross-border health emergencies, the organisation was founded on principles of human rights and originally emphasised community and individual rights. These culminated in the Declaration of Alma Ata in 1978, emphasising the importance of community participation and ‘horizontal’ approaches to care.
The WHO logo
At this point we would normally include the logo of the organisation we are writing about. In the case of the WHO we are unable to do this. Here is what the WHO say :-
"The WHO emblem or logo may only be used on publications (print, electronic or web) with express permission, and only if WHO has been involved in preparing the text (or the work on which it is based), and only so long as the text is consistent with WHO's policies and priorities."
Given that our reports are most certainly not aligned with the WHO's "policies and priorities", and given that we are not prepared to allow WHO staff to be involved in preparing the text, we can't use it. What we can tell you is that the WHO logo consists of the United Nations symbol surmounted by a staff with an enormous snake coiling round it.
Who funds the WHO? (The multi-billion dollar question)
In recent decades, the WHO’s core funding model has changed. Originally, its support base of core funding was allocated by countries based on GDP (Assessed Contributions), but this has evolved into a model where most funding is via Voluntary Contributions, and directed by the donors to specified uses (meaning that it is designated for specific projects rather than being used at the WHO’s discretion to address the greatest disease burdens), and much of this is provided by private and corporate interests and by public-private partnerships (see below).
The priorities of the WHO have evolved accordingly, moving away from community-centred care to a more vertical, commodity-based (vaccines and medicines) approach. This inevitably follows the interests and self-interests of these funders. Understanding these changes is important in order to put the proposed amendments to the existing International Health Regulations (IHR) in context.
The WHO is almost 90% funded privately - Audited accounts of the WHO
The last audited accounts for the WHO are for 2022, but bizarrely their website shows these as being presented on 13 May 2022, seven months before the end of the year. This is sloppy, because in fact the full accounts which we have obtained were produced one year later.
Brexit Facts4EU and CIBUK have analysed the accounts and our summary is below.
Brexit Facts4EU.Org Summary
Funding of the WHO, 2022
1. The overall picture
- Revenue : $4.354bn
- Expenses : $3.848bn
- Surplus : $600m (There are some miscellaneous items, but we are reporting what the WHO put in their report.)
[Source : WHO audited accounts 2022.]
2. Where the WHO gets its money
- Contributions from governments : $.0.496bn
- “Voluntary contributions” from others : $ 3.619bn
- “Other revenue” : $ 0.239bn
In other words, the WHO is funded 89% by bodies other than national governments. Bill Gates is by far the biggest donor, via 3 entities: Bill & Melinda Gates organisation, GAVI and CEPI.

3. How the WHO spends its vast revenues
What follows is simply extraordinary.
- Staff costs : $ 1.164bn
- Contractual services : $ 1.337bn
- Medical supplies and materials : $ 0.511bn
- Transfers and grants : $ 0.460bn
- Travel : $ 0.161bn
- General operating expenses : $ 0.193bn
- Equipment, vehicles and furniture : $ 0.015bn
- Depreciation and amortization : $ 0.007bn

In other words, only 13.3% of the WHO’s spending goes on medical supplies and equipment.
Partners of the WHO
WHO is not alone in the international health space. Organisations such as UNICEF (originally intended to prioritise child health and welfare), private foundations and NGOs have long partnered with the WHO. However, the past two decades have seen a huge growth of the global health industry, with multiple organisations, particularly ‘public-private partnerships’ (PPPs) growing in influence.
Notable ‘Public-Private Partnerships’
- Gavi – The Vaccine Alliance, founded and heavily funded by Bill Gates and dedicated to pandemics
- The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
- CEPI – an organisation set up at the World Economic Forum meeting in 2017 by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation and Wellcome Trust specifically to manage pandemics
All of these PPPs have representatives of private interests on their governing boards (i.e. pharma corporations) and address a narrow health focus that reflects the priorities of private sponsors. They influence the WHO through voluntary specific funding and through funding within WHO Member States. Taken overall, Bill Gates is directly and indirectly by far the largest funder of the WHO.
This system is wide open to conflicts of interest and corruption, and we simply cannot give this entity even more power to dictate global health policy.
Other UN agencies have evolved in similar ways
- UNICEF is now heavily focused on implementing mass Covid vaccination among populations that are already immune, whilst children, its former focus, have had apidly deteriorating health metrics
- The World Bank, with the WHO as ‘technical partner’, has developed a Financial Intermediary Fund (FIF) announced 9/9/22 to support pandemic preparedness through funding the development of a surveillance, identification and response network, that is envisioned in the two WHO pandemic instruments (described in Part III) and backed by the recent G20 meeting in Indonesia.
In our next report in this series we shall look at "Future pandemics and how the WHO will dictate lockdowns and removal of personal freedoms".
Observations
The WHO is majority privately-funded
We find it simply extraordinary that a major international body purporting to be part of the UN is in fact majority privately-funded. Yet this is the organisation which plans to take over our lives whenever it sees fit.
When it does so we will be unable to question or criticise it, under the international legislation being planned for next year. Legally we will not be able to put any opposing views - and neither will senior consultants and doctors.
We will provide more specific information about this totalitarian and dictatorial regime in Part III of this series.
We must get reports like this out there
Reports like the one above take far longer to research, write and produce than many people realise. If they were easy, readers would see other organisations also producing these daily. However, there’s little point in the Facts4EU.Org team working long hours, seven days-a-week, if we lack the resources to promote them effectively – to the public, to MPs, and to the media. This is where you come in, dear reader.
