**New Delhi, India –** The United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), initiated under the Trump administration, continues to fuel debate over the future of global health governance. While the move, citing concerns over the WHO’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of reform, poses significant challenges to international cooperation, it also underscores the urgent need for internal WHO reform.
Experts highlight the necessity of enhancing the organization’s efficiency, transparency, and equitable resource allocation. The path forward, they suggest, lies in fostering collective leadership among member nations and securing sustainable funding to ensure the WHO’s continued crucial role in tackling global health emergencies. The long-term impact of the US withdrawal on global health initiatives remains a subject of ongoing discussion.
