I don't think the director needs a medical degree. Many politicians also never studied what their position in a government is. It's just important that these people understand the information they get from those who really do the work.

Most here also know that China and the WHO did a lot of shit. That doesn't change that without the WHO, the situation around the world would be much worse now and that we might have heard about this virus and how bad it really is much later as we did. 

There is a lot which can be done to improve the WHO but not having the WHO or a similar world wide operating organization would be stupid. 

Sorry but this is ridiculous. WHO should not be equated to politics. WHO is an organization inherently rooted in science and should absolutely have people of scientific qualifications running it. This is one of the key reasons we are in this mess. 

I doubt we are in some mess because the director has no medical degree. Whatever he did wrong, he did it because he was stupid, stubborn or whatever and not because he didn't understand the problem just because of some missing medical degree.

And if the health minister of my country decides some stuff not as he should (which can also cost many lives dependent of what it is)  than he will also not do that wrong just because he was never a doctor.
