Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei has announced the country’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization, aligning with U.S. policies. The decision stems from significant disagreements over the WHO's pandemic response, particularly its handling of COVID-19 and its perceived political influences. This move, underscoring Milei's commitment to national sovereignty in health matters, follows a similar withdrawal by U.S. President Donald Trump. While Argentina's financial contribution to WHO is minimal, this step raises concerns about global health cooperation. The government insists this decision will enhance Argentina's ability to independently manage its health policies.
