It has been announced that Argentina will pull out of the World Health Organization (WHO), just weeks after the US confirmed that it would do the same.

Speaking at a news conference on February 5, presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni confirmed that “President [Javier] Milei instructed [foreign minister] Gerardo Werthein to withdraw Argentina’s participation in the World Health Organization.” He went on to clarify that: “We Argentinians will not allow an international organization to intervene in our sovereignty, much less in our health.”

In January, President Donald Trump announced that the US would withdraw from the WHO, a decision that has prompted strong criticism from public health experts.

For over 75 years, the WHO has been promoting global health. They have kept the world safe from some of the most dangerous and infectious diseases on the planet and achieved the very highest standards of health for all.
