Moscow-Sana

During a telephone conversation with the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned of the danger of taking any politicized decisions that would jeopardize international cooperation in the field of health care and cause unrest among the member states of the organization.

Russia Today quoted a statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry issued regarding the call that took place between the two sides at the initiative of Moscow: “Lavrov presented facts about the causes of the humanitarian crisis that erupted as a result of the unconstitutional coup in 2014 and the subsequent aggression by the Kyiv regime against the residents of Donbass and its imposition of a complete siege on my province Donetsk and Lugansk", calling on the organization to influence the Kyiv regime so as not to prevent the implementation of the proposed measures in this regard.

The statement added that the two sides stressed the importance of Russia's support for the central role played by the World Health Organization and its willingness to continue its active participation in the work of the organization and to contribute effectively to solving global health issues, especially in light of the work currently underway on additional preparation of the emergency alert and response system in the field of health care.

The statement also pointed out that the two sides, during the call, paid special attention to conflicts that negatively affect the needs of civilians in the health care sector, especially in Africa and the Middle East, in addition to issues related to preparations for the 75th session of the World Health Assembly.
