The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed deep regret over U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to withdraw the country from the organization. It hopes the U.S. government will reconsider this significant decision.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the WHO also said it looks forward to maintaining its partnership through constructive dialogue. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems, and enhancing global preparedness to detect, prevent, and respond to health emergencies such as disease outbreaks.
\"The collaboration with the United States has been immensely valuable in advancing global health initiatives,\" the statement read. \"We look forward to continuing this partnership to ensure the health and well-being of all people worldwide.\"
The U.S. has been one of the largest contributors to the WHO, and its withdrawal could have significant implications for global health efforts. The WHO's appeal underscores the importance of international cooperation in the face of ongoing and future health challenges.
