The United States formally withdrew from the WHO on January 22, 2026, citing alleged COVID-19 "mishandling" and “China-centric” - stripping the agency of about 20% of its funding. Next week (from 2 to 7 February), PSI will join the WHO EB meeting to represent health and care workers and advocate for stronger international collaboration.
