The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep regret following U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to withdraw the United States from the organization. The global health body hopes the U.S. government will reconsider its decision, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation in tackling global health challenges.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO affirmed its commitment to maintaining a partnership with the United States through constructive dialogue. The organization highlighted its dedication to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems worldwide, and enhancing the ability to detect, prevent, and respond to health emergencies, including disease outbreaks.
The decision by the U.S. comes at a critical time when the world is grappling with multiple health crises that require coordinated efforts and solidarity among nations. The WHO underscored that global health security depends on the contributions and collaboration of all countries.
