The World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that the US pause on foreign aid is severely impacting global health initiatives, particularly those combatting polio, HIV, and other major health threats. This significant setback undermines efforts to achieve global health security and control infectious diseases. The WHO is working to mitigate the effects, but the situation demands urgent attention and action to prevent further damage to public health programs worldwide, highlighting the need for sustained global health funding and international cooperation to address health crises.
