Shock, condemnation as Zimbabwe?s Mugabe named WHO ?goodwill ambassador?
93-year-old Robert Mugabe, the world?s oldest head of state, is facing United States sanctions for a ?long track record of human rights violations.?

GENEVA?Shock and condemnation continued Saturday after Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe was named a ?goodwill ambassador? for the World Health Organization by the agency?s first African leader.
The 93-year-old Mugabe, the world?s oldest head of state, has long been criticized at home for going overseas for medical treatment as Zimbabwe?s once-prosperous economy falls apart. Mugabe also faces United States sanctions over his government?s human rights abuses...
Over the last few days, I have reflected on my appointment of H.E. President Robert Mugabe as WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Noncommunicable Diseases in Africa. As a result I have decided to rescind the appointment.
I have listened carefully to all who have expressed their concerns, and heard the different issues that they have raised. I have also consulted with the
Government of Zimbabwe and we have concluded that this decision is in the best interests of the World Health Organization.
It is my aim to build a worldwide movement for global health. This movement must work for everyone and include everyone.
For me, what is important is to build political leadership and create unity around bringing health to all, based on WHO’s core values.
I remain firmly committed to working with all countries and their leaders to ensure that every one has access to the health care they need.
We must build bridges that bring us together and help us move forward in our quest to achieve universal health coverage.
I thank everyone who has voiced their concerns and shared their thoughts. I depend on constructive debate to help and inform the work I have been elected to do.
