US formally ditches World Health Organisation one year after Donald Trump's executive order

America has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organisation, roughly a year after US President Donald Trump’s executive order. Since the one-year notice period provided by the US about its withdrawal, the Trump administration has cut off funding, among other actions. The administration has also withdrawn all personnel and shifted programs previously fulfilled with the WHO to engagements with other nations. On Thursday, a joint statement by the State Department and the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed the US’s official withdrawal from the WHO. “Going forward, the US government will continue its global health leadership through existing and new engagements directly with other countries, the private sector, non-governmental organisations, and faith-based entities,” the statement read.
