Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO), the largest contributor to its budget. This move raises concerns among experts regarding the US's capacity to address international health issues independently. Even though the order will not take full effect until January 2026 due to a congressional resolution, it restricts future financial support to the WHO. The US contributes nearly a quarter of the organization's funding, which is primarily derived from voluntary donations, posing a significant challenge to the WHO's ability to manage global health programs effectively.
The US withdrawal from the WHO is viewed as a significant setback for global health collaboration, particularly in combating disease outbreaks.
Experts are concerned that removing US support from the WHO will jeopardize the organization's capability to lead international health initiatives.
