Statement on the Administration’s Announcement Regarding the World Health Organization

InterAction issued the following statement on the administration’s announcement regarding the World Health Organization:

“The decision to stop U.S. funding for the World Health Organization (WHO), during this global pandemic, could have sweeping effects on efforts to protect against infectious disease and serve the world’s most vulnerable.

“Now is the time for a global response using all of the tools the international community has. Stepping back from the WHO only makes the world and America more exposed and vulnerable to the coronavirus.”
