(Web Desk) The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that it has taken further disciplinary action against a senior director for harassment after an investigation into a complaint by a junior British doctor. .

WHO spokeswoman Marcia Ball said in her response to the incident that Timo Wakanivalu was dismissed from the World Health Organization after allegations of sexual harassment came to light, leading to disciplinary action against him. Ball added in a statement that sexual harassment of any kind by consultants or partners working with WHO is unacceptable, regardless of whether the victim is an employee.

He added that Wakaniwalo can appeal the dismissal under the institution’s system to the World Health Organization, and if it is not accepted, he can appeal to the Arbitration Committee at the International Labor Organization.

It is noteworthy that Dr. Rosie James, who works for the British Health Service, complained of harassment in a message on Twitter in October last year.
