Impact of US Withdrawal from the WHO

The decision by the US to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) has raised significant concerns among global health experts regarding its impact on international health efforts. The WHO plays a critical role in promoting health, especially during emergencies, such as tracking diseases and facilitating the distribution of therapeutics and vaccines. The US has been the largest donor to the WHO, and this withdrawal could severely hinder efforts to combat global health threats, including diseases like HIV and MPOX. International reactions have expressed fears that the decision may lead to a regression in public health advancements, emphasizing the need for global cooperation to address health crises.
