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 this decision.
The organization stated that it looks forward to maintaining its partnership with the United States through constructive dialogue. The WHO reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems, and enhancing global capabilities to detect, prevent, and respond to health emergencies, such as disease outbreaks.
\"Global cooperation is essential in combating health crises that know no borders,\" the WHO emphasized. \"We remain dedicated to working with all nations to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable.\"
This development comes at a critical time when international collaboration is crucial in addressing global health challenges. The WHO's call for continued partnership underscores the importance of unity and solidarity in the face of pandemics and other health emergencies.
