WHO. Philip Morris-funded FSFW fails (again) to end pariah status
WHO. Philip Morris-funded FSFW fails (again) to end pariah status
The Philip Morris-funded Foundation for a Smoke-Free World published an open letter to the Board of the WHO on 24 January 2019, urging it to ‘consider how best to work with the Foundation’. The letter was published to coincide with the WHO January Executive board meeting. The WHO stance since September 2017 has been that it will not partner with FSFW, governments should not partner with FSFW, and the public health community should follow this lead.
