The World Health Organization (WHO) plays a critical role in keeping Americans and the world safe from deadly diseases and health threats. We urge the Trump Administration to reconsider its position on US withdrawal from WHO. At a time when we are facing multiple health crises—including mpox, cholera, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR)—a strong and effective WHO is more important than ever.
