WHO says US criticism of Ebola response may be due to 'lack of understanding'

The World Health Organization chief suggested Wednesday that U.S. criticism of his agency's response to a deadly Ebola outbreak in central Africa could be attributed to a "lack of understanding".

Asked about US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's criticism of the WHO's response to the Ebola outbreak centred in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo as "a little late", Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters in Geneva that "maybe what the secretary said... could be from lack of understanding of how IHR (International Health Regulations) work, and the responsibilities of WHO and other entities".
