The chief of the World Health Organisation has condemned US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for “untrue and unacceptable” comments, responding to reported allegations that included the health agency chief having been “bought” by China.

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus insisted WHO is focusing on “saving lives” as he lashed out at the comments British media have reported Mr Pompeo made at a closed-door event earlier this week in London.
