How the US withdrawal from WHO could affect Nigeria’s health sector – Stakeholders

VANGUARD

Health experts and stakeholders in Nigeria have warned that the United States’ withdrawal from the World Health Organisation (WHO) could significantly affect Nigeria’s health sector and global health security.

The stakeholders spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

‘Recall that the U.S. President, Donald Trump, has signed an executive order to begin the process of withdrawing the country from WHO.

This marks the second time Trump is giving an order for the U.S. to pull out of the WHO.

Dr Daniel Adakole, a public health expert, described the decision as a major setback for global health efforts, particularly for low- and middle-income countries like Nigeria.
