The US exit from the World Health Organization has sparked concern among global health experts, who warn that it could undermine decades of progress in disease prevention and increase the risk of pandemics. This move could have far-reaching consequences for global health security, potentially reversing gains made in fighting infectious diseases like COVID-19, tuberculosis, and malaria. With the WHO playing a critical role in coordinating global health responses, the US withdrawal could leave a significant gap in international cooperation, putting vulnerable populations at greater risk. As the world grapples with emerging health threats, the US decision may compromise global health initiatives and increase pandemic risks.
