Argentina, under President Javier Milei’s leadership, has decided to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to "profound differences" in health management, particularly during COVID-19. This decision reflects concerns over external influence on national health policies. Argentina, which contributed $8 million to WHO’s $6.9 billion budget, opposes international intervention in its healthcare system. The move is similar to U.S. President Donald Trump's earlier decision to exit WHO on January 21, 2025, highlighting a broader debate on national sovereignty versus global health governance.
