Impact of U.S. Withdrawal from the WHO

The U.S. decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) raises significant concerns for global public health security. Experts argue that the absence of U.S. support could weaken the organization and its ability to respond to health crises worldwide. The funding gap left by the U.S. could hinder important programs, such as those focused on vaccine distribution and epidemic preparedness. Moreover, experts highlight that if the U.S. exits, its absence from decision-making processes, like selecting vaccine strains, could lead to challenges in coordinating global health responses.
