In a move reminiscent of former US President Donald Trump, Argentina's President Javier Milei has withdrawn the country from the World Health Organization, citing similar grievances. This decision has sparked intense debate about global health governance and the role of international organizations. The World Health Organization has been at the forefront of addressing global health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. With Argentina's exit, the country joins a small group of nations that have expressed dissatisfaction with the WHO's leadership and policies, potentially impacting global health initiatives and international cooperation on health issues like pandemic preparedness and infectious disease control.
