Saída dos EUA aperta o orçamento da OMS

By Jordi Bou

January 22, 2025 - A decisão do Presidente Trump de retirar os EUA da Organização
Mundial de Saúde implica um grande rombo no orçamento da agência e pode afetar a sua capacidade para enfrentar as ameaças globais de saúde.

Trump said the WHO had failed to act independently from the “inappropriate political influence of WHO member states” and required “unfairly onerous payments” from the U.S. that were disproportionate to the sums provided by other, larger countries, such as China.

The move sets a 12-month notice period for the U.S. to leave the UN health agency and stop all financial contributions to its work. The U.S. is by the WHO’s biggest financial backer. WHO's most recent two-year budget, for 2024-2025, was $6.8 billion.

A U.S. withdrawal could have an impact on WHO’s ability to respond to emergencies such as an Ebola outbreak, or MPOX – let alone another Covid-19-style pandemic.
