\"We value the longstanding cooperation and support from the United States in advancing global health,\" the WHO noted. The organization reaffirmed its commitment to addressing the root causes of diseases, strengthening health systems worldwide, and enhancing the capacity to detect, prevent, and respond to health emergencies, such as disease outbreaks.
The withdrawal comes at a critical time when international cooperation is essential in combating ongoing health challenges. The WHO highlighted the importance of unity and collaboration among nations to ensure a healthier and safer world for all.
The organization remains dedicated to its mission and continues to work with all member states and partners to promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable.
