Sheikh Hasina's daughter Saima Wazed resigns as WHO regional head after fraud allegations
Saima Wazed, WHO Southeast Asia head, resigned Wednesday following fraud investigations. The UN health agency had placed her on unpaid administrative leave late last year. Bangladesh's Anti-Corruption Commission filed charges alleging fraud and forgery against her. Wazed denied accusations of financial fraud and misrepresenting academic credentials. She cited financial hardship and lack of trust in leadership for her decision.
