The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep regret over U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of withdrawing the United States from the organization. In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO emphasized its hope that the U.S. government will reconsider its decision.
\"The United States has long been a valued partner of the WHO,\" the statement said. \"We look forward to continuing our collaboration through constructive dialogue.\"
The organization reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening global health systems, and enhancing its capacity to detect, prevent, and respond to health emergencies, such as disease outbreaks.
The WHO highlighted the importance of global solidarity in the face of health crises, noting that cooperation among nations is critical to tackling challenges that transcend borders. The potential withdrawal of the U.S., one of the organization's largest contributors, raises concerns about the future of international health initiatives.
Health experts and international leaders have voiced apprehension over the U.S. decision, citing the ongoing need for unified efforts to combat global health threats. The WHO's call for reconsideration underscores the stakes involved in maintaining strong partnerships to safeguard public health worldwide.
