Argentina has announced its decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization, citing 'profound differences' with the U.N. agency. This move, ordered by President Javier Milei, echoes similar sentiments expressed by former US President Donald Trump. The withdrawal is expected to have significant implications for global health initiatives and cooperation. With this decision, Argentina joins a small group of nations that have opted out of the WHO, raising concerns about the impact on public health policies and international collaboration. The country's exit may also affect its access to global health resources and expertise, potentially hindering its ability to respond to future health crises, including pandemics and infectious diseases.
