The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed regret over U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to withdraw the country from the organization. In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO urged the U.S. government to reconsider its decision, emphasizing the importance of continued partnership.
The WHO stated it looks forward to maintaining its collaboration through constructive dialogue. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems, and responding to health emergencies such as disease outbreaks.
\"Global cooperation is essential in combating health crises,\" the statement read. \"We hope to continue working with the United States to safeguard the health and well-being of all people.\"
The decision by the U.S. has raised concerns about potential impacts on global health initiatives. As one of the WHO's significant contributors, the U.S. withdrawal could affect programs aimed at disease prevention and emergency responses worldwide.
The WHO remains dedicated to its mission and calls for unity among nations to address ongoing and future health challenges.
