US EditionUS completes withdrawal from World Health Organization
The U.S. ended funding and participation in WHO, owing over $130 million and risking disruptions to global disease surveillance and vaccine development, experts said.
- On Jan. 22, the United States completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said, terminating funding and recalling personnel while ending official participation.
- President Donald Trump began efforts to leave the World Health Organization during his first term and gave formal notice via an executive order on the first day of his second term, criticizing WHO's COVID-19 response, "onerous payments," and lack of American director-generals.
- NPR reported the U.S. owes WHO $278 million for 2024-25 fees and WHO says unpaid dues exceed more than $133 million, while U.S. legal experts note withdrawal requires one-year notice and payment.
- HHS said it left the door open to some collaboration, and the administration said talks continue about participating in a WHO-led flu vaccine composition meeting next year, while public health experts warned the exit will reduce U.S. access to disease intelligence.
- Public health experts warned the U.S. exit could cripple global health programs and noted the CDC has staff in about 60 countries, while observers say a U.S. return may hinge on WHO leadership next year and relations between President Donald Trump and Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
