In a shocking move, President Trump has initiated the US withdrawal from the World Health Organization, a decision health experts are condemning as an 'enormous mistake'. The WHO plays a critical role in global health governance, monitoring and responding to health crises. This move is expected to have significant implications for global health security, pandemic preparedness, and public health policy. With the US being a major contributor to the WHO, this withdrawal is likely to impact the organization's ability to respond to health emergencies, such as COVID-19 outbreaks and vaccine development. Health experts warn of the dangers of this decision, citing the importance of global cooperation in addressing health crises.
