US EditionNew York City joins UN health network after Trump’s withdrawal from WHO
New York City joins WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network to access expertise from over 360 institutions and enhance pandemic response capabilities.
- On Feb 4, the New York City Health Department announced it formally joined the World Health Organization’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network, placing New York City within a global pandemic response system.

- Health and human rights experts warned the federal withdrawal weakens global cooperation and reduces preparedness, while other Democratic-led states including California and Illinois have also joined the WHO-linked network.
