WHO issues starkest warning yet on fallout from U.S. withdrawal of aid for global health
Breaking: The WHO issued its starkest warning yet on the consequences of the abrupt cessation of U.S. global health funding, saying it is threatening to reverse years of progress worldwide.
The World Health Organization on Monday issued its starkest warning yet on the consequences of the abrupt cessation of U.S. global health funding, saying it is threatening to reverse years of progress in the fight against diseases like HIV, tuberculosis, and measles.
Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called on the Trump administration to reconsider its withdrawal of funding for international aid programs. Barring that possibility, Tedros said the United States has a responsibility to manage the pullback in ways that do not endanger the lives of people who rely on the programs it funds.
