The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep regret over U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to withdraw the country from the international health body. It hopes the U.S. government will reconsider this decision, emphasizing the longstanding partnership between the two entities.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO stated its desire to maintain collaboration through constructive dialogue. \"We value our collaboration with the United States and look forward to continuing our partnership to improve global health,\" the organization said.
The WHO reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems worldwide, and enhancing the ability to detect, prevent, and respond to health emergencies, such as disease outbreaks. The organization highlighted the critical importance of global cooperation in tackling health challenges that transcend borders.
The U.S. withdrawal comes at a time when international solidarity is crucial in combating global health threats. The WHO expressed hope that shared goals and mutual interests would prevail, allowing for continued collaboration in safeguarding the health of all people.
