Global military spending reached $2.7 trillion in 2024, far exceeding WHO’s $4.2 billion two-year health budget, prompting calls to prioritize peace and health.
In 2024, global military spending hit a record $2.7 trillion, while global health funding declined, according to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
He stated the WHO’s two-year budget of $4.2 billion—about $2.1 billion annually—is insufficient, equivalent to just eight hours of global military spending.
Tedros urged leaders to prioritize peace and health over conflict, calling peace "the best medicine" and criticizing the imbalance between defense and health investments.
