Dr. Takeshi Kasai was fired from the World Health Organization after he was accused of being racist, unethical, and abusive toward staff members.
World Health Organization
Tedros did not refer to Kasai by name, referencing only his title as regional director in the Western Pacific. It is the first time in WHO’s history that a regional director has been dismissed. Senior WHO directors told the organization’s top governing body that Kasai had created a"toxic atmosphere," that staff members were afraid of retaliation if they spoke out against him and that there was a"lack of trust" in WHO.
Documents and recordings showed Kasai made racist remarks to his staff and blamed the rise of COVID-19 in some Pacific countries on their"lack of capacity due to their inferior culture, race and socioeconomic level." More than 80 outbreak responders working primarily under WHO’s direction sexually abused or exploited vulnerable women; an AP investigation found senior WHO management was informed of multiple exploitation claims in 2019 but refused to act and even promoted one of the managers involved.found the agency’s response to one case of alleged exploitation did not violate the rules because of a loophole in how WHO defines victims, a finding independent experts described as"an absurdity.
Internal documents showed senior WHO managers were aware of past sexual harassment claims involving Fijian physician Temo Waqanivalu, who also was accused of assaulting a woman at a Berlin conference. With support of some WHO colleagues and his home country, Waqanivalu was preparing to run for the regional director job.
