WHO Implements Hiring Freeze and Budget Cuts Following Trump’s $1.3B U.S. Withdrawal
Jan 27, 2025, 04:00 AM
The World Health Organization (WHO) is implementing an immediate hiring freeze and budget cuts in response to the U.S. decision to withdraw from the agency. WHO Director-General has indicated that the financial situation is becoming 'more acute' due to the withdrawal, which is expected to impact funding significantly. The U.S. had contributed approximately $1.3 billion to global health efforts from 2022 to 2023, marking it as the agency's largest donor. The WHO is currently reviewing its priorities to adapt to this funding loss, emphasizing its role in providing essential health services that protect countries from health threats.
