What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

I commend your web search skills!
With that info we can post a better photo taken within moments of the above:
Which shows medications being stored in a normal way in boxes which are neatly stacked and organized on shelves.
The med salad colander thing still completely inexplicable. It doesn't play any role in the workflow according to the photos I saw. It is a chaotic and dangerous way of storing medication. I hypothesize it is staged for the benefit of the photographer, likely with some art direction from her.
I think it was supposed to portray second hand/dubious origin medications being sorted through rather than a pick n mix.
Undoubtedly there was art direction but I expect that from pretty much every photo ever taken.
Either way I think it would be on the articles author for the picture choice rather than the photographer. I don't think Getty lets you deny who gets to use your photos.
When Oxford was about to liberate its covid vaccine recipe to enable local production in the global south, bill gates swooped in to talk them down. One of his arguments that ultimately won the day is that global south people are too stupid and irresponsible to be in charge of important medicine like that.
This photo is staged to reinforced that kind of stereotype.
