In a move that has sparked concerns among health experts, the US has announced its intention to exit the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO's constitution does not provide a clear exit strategy for member states, but a 1948 congressional resolution outlines that the US can withdraw with one year's notice, provided all financial obligations are met for the current fiscal year. This decision has significant implications for global health, pandemic response, and the future of international health cooperation, highlighting the importance of health organizations, global health security, and public health policy.
