Implications of U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization on health financing in Africa

The U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) could severely impact global health financing, especially in Africa, where its previous contributions supported vital health programs for HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health, tuberculosis, and malaria. This reduction in funding is likely to disproportionately burden low- and middle-income countries, hindering access to essential healthcare services.
