The US decision to exit the World Health Organization (WHO) has sparked concerns over the potential disruption to global health programs, particularly in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the top donor to the WHO, the US withdrawal is expected to have a significant impact on the organization's funding, which could jeopardize various health initiatives and programs worldwide, including disease prevention and public health education. The move may also undermine the global response to COVID-19, a major public health crisis. The WHO's efforts to combat the pandemic may be severely hindered without the support of the US, a key player in global health governance.
