<p>The United Kingdom continues to have a strong and committed relationship with the
World Health Organization (WHO), who have an important role to play in leading the
global health response to coronavirus, and works closely with them at country, regional
and global levels. The UK is currently the second largest member state donor to WHO
and has already contributed £75 million to help WHO lead the international efforts
to stop the spread of the virus. The Prime Minister has now announced at the United
Nations General Assembly on 26 September £340 million in new core funding to be given
to the organisation over the next four years.</p><p>We have long been an advocate
of reform in the WHO to ensure it is flexible and responsive, including able to respond
as quickly and effectively as possible to global health emergencies, and we will continue
to be so.</p>
