US Withdrawal from WHO: Trump's Decision Sparks Health Concerns
The United States' planned exit from the World Health Organization (WHO) has raised concerns among health experts, who warn of potential dangers to global health security. The WHO's constitution lacks a clear exit clause, but a 1948 Congressional resolution allows the US to withdraw with a year's notice, provided all financial obligations are met. This move may have significant implications for global health initiatives and pandemic response, sparking worries about the future of international health cooperation and the impact on public health policies. The US withdrawal from WHO may also affect the organization's ability to respond to emerging health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Health experts are calling for careful consideration of the potential consequences of this decision.
