In a significant move, Argentina has announced its decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization, following in the footsteps of the United States. This development comes after President Donald Trump's executive order to exit the global health group last month. The presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, confirmed the decision on Wednesday, citing the need for a re-evaluation of global health partnerships. The move is expected to have significant implications for global health initiatives and cooperation, particularly in the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and public health challenges. Argentina's withdrawal may also impact international health policies and global healthcare systems.
