The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed regret over U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of withdrawing the country from the organization. In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO emphasized its hope that the U.S. government will reconsider this decision.
The organization highlighted the importance of continued collaboration with the United States, one of its key member countries, in addressing global health challenges. The WHO stated it looks forward to maintaining its partnership through constructive dialogue.
Reaffirming its commitment to global health, the WHO underscored its dedication to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems worldwide, and enhancing capabilities to detect, prevent, and respond to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks.
The potential withdrawal of the U.S. from the WHO raises concerns among global health experts about the future of international cooperation in combating pandemics and other health crises.
