US EditionUS, Argentina launching new ‘alternative’ to WHO
- On May 27, 2025, U.S. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Began a two-day visit to Buenos Aires to meet with Argentine President Javier Milei and health officials amid Argentina's withdrawal from the WHO.
- Argentina’s decision to leave the WHO followed President Milei’s February order due to the organization's handling of pandemic lockdowns and perceived political influence backed by the Chinese Communist Party.
- Health Minister Mario Lugones and Kennedy discussed plans to review national health systems, reform drug and vaccine approval, and address chronic diseases focused on scientific rigor and transparency.
- Kennedy and Lugones declared that the current system no longer adequately safeguards the public or fulfills its responsibilities, and they called on countries dedicated to scientific integrity to collaborate in establishing a renewed global health partnership.
- This move initiates a shift toward an alternative global health model emphasizing sovereignty, accountability, and cost-effective, evidence-based prevention targeting environmental and nutritional causes of disease.
