We encourage anyone to report concerns of unethical behaviour.
WHO is committed to addressing and responding to concerns. This enhances our accountability and supports the integrity of WHO’s operations and programmes.
Confidentiality will only be waived with the express consent of the reporter. We encourage anyone making an allegation to provide as much information and evidence as possible.
