→Male circumcision: Add text.
This circumcision policy originated before Tedros became Director-General, however he has now had nearly five years to change it, but has ''not'' done so. It may be because of the very large contributions from the [[Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation]] and the fear of offending [[Bill Gates]], which are both advocates of [[circumcision]].
It may also be due to the influence of [[David R. Tomlinson]] who has invented several circumcision devices, including the [[AccuCirc]] which he merchandises. Tomlinson is the WHO adviser on circumcision, so he is unlikely to recommend against circumcision due to his apparent conflict-of interest.
