The World Health Organization (WHO) could face severe funding cuts if the US withdraws membership under the Trump administration, potentially harming global public health efforts.
Experts predict that the loss of US funding would pressure the WHO to attract private contributions, changing the dynamics of global health governance in unprecedented ways.
Lawrence Gostin, a global health law expert, asserts that the threat of US withdrawal from WHO funding is tangible and will have real implications for health initiatives worldwide.
Notably, the WHO's recent emergency fund appeal underscores the significant risks to global health posed by factors like climate change and conflict, emphasizing the growing need for financial support.
