Argentina has recently made the decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), following a similar move made by US President Donald Trump last month. The announcement was made by presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni during a news conference on Wednesday. Adorni stated that President Javier Milei instructed Foreign Minister Gerardo Werthein to initiate the process of pulling Argentina out of the WHO.
Adorni emphasized that the decision was driven by a desire to protect Argentina's sovereignty, particularly in matters related to health. He stated, 'We Argentinians will not allow an international organization to intervene in our sovereignty, much less in our health.'

This move by Argentina comes after President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the WHO in January. Trump's announcement was met with criticism from public health experts and raised concerns about the implications of such a decision on global health initiatives.
It remains to be seen how Argentina's withdrawal from the WHO will impact its participation in international health efforts and collaborations. The decision reflects a growing trend of countries reassessing their relationships with global health organizations and asserting their independence in health policy matters.
