Argentina Officially Exits WHO Citing Health Sovereignty Under Milei

Argentina's government, led by President Javier Milei, has completed the formal process of withdrawing from the World Health Organization, criticizing the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. This departure aligns Argentina with the United States, which left the WHO earlier this year, signaling a shift in how countries engage with global health governance. The consequences for international health collaboration remain uncertain, as Argentina plans to pursue bilateral and regional health agreements instead of WHO membership.
