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.  

Thankfully it was false info and the WHO is led by a qualified guy, but my point stands that people of high health leadership positions should absolutely have strong biological science backgrounds period.
