World Health Organization chief says agency already cutting back on hiring and travel with Trump withdrawal set to hit funding.

America’s departure will leave a gaping hole in the apex health organisation’s budget and operational capacity that will have worldwide repercussions.

President Trump’s decision to pull out of the international health agency could deprive the United States of crucial scientific data and lessen the country’s influence in setting a global health agenda.

President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization is the latest in a five-year grudge against Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

After previously blaming it for mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic, President Trump is pulling the U.S. from the World Health Organization.

The World Health Organization is freezing recruitment and slashing travel in response to the withdrawal of the U.S., its biggest funder, according to an internal email seen by POLITICO.

At least 70 people have been killed in an attack on a hospital in Sudan, World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Sunday. Rival generals have been locked in a brutal power struggle in Sudan since April 2023.

The World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus condemned the recent attack on the Saudi Teaching Maternal Hospital in El Fasher, Sudan, which resulted in 70 deaths and 19 injuries.

Tanzanian President Samia Sululu Hassan confirmed an outbreak of Marburg virus after its health ministry had previously denied the spread.

We continue to call for a cessation of all attacks on health care in Sudan, and to allow full access for the swift restoration of the facilities that have been damaged,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote.
