Argentina ratifies decision to withdraw from WHO as RFK Jr visits Buenos Aires
Briefly

Argentina has confirmed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), a decision initially declared by President Javier Milei. This move mirrors the US withdrawal declared by Donald Trump. The government criticized the WHO for lacking scientific basis in its recommendations and accused it of poor management during the Covid pandemic. During a meeting with US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., plans were discussed to enhance collaboration and transparency in Argentina's health system. The government also announced a thorough review of national health agencies to improve functionality and oversight.
The WHO's prescriptions do not work because they are not based on science but on political interests and bureaucratic structures that refuse to review their own mistakes.
Together with Robert Kennedy, we believe in the future of collaboration in global health. We have similar visions about the path forward, Lugones said.
