The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization (WHO), marking a pivotal shift in global health relations. The Biden Administration announced the legal conclusion of the withdrawal process, initiated by an executive order from former President Donald Trump a year ago. The WHO, a UN agency, is in charge of international public health coordination, playing a vital role in handling global health emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic. The U.S. government has justified its decision citing a need to reassess engagement with international health organizations and explore alternatives aligning with national priorities. Critics argue this move could undermine global health efforts and curtail America’s influence in international health leadership. Supporters believe this step could pressure the WHO into necessary reforms. The decision’s full implications will be revealed in the coming months as health officials and international partners adapt to the new scenario.
