The World Health Organization (WHO) has appointed President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe as a "goodwill ambassador" to help tackle non-communicable diseases.New WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus praised Zimbabwe for its commitment to public health.

Dr Tedros, who is Ethiopian, is the first African to lead the WHO, he was elected with a mandate to tackle perceived politicisation in the organisation. Some people must be fuming I guess
