flag New Zealand’s WHO membership strengthens its health security without threatening sovereignty.

flag New Zealand’s membership in the World Health Organization does not compromise its sovereignty, as the WHO has no legal authority to enforce decisions. flag The organization plays a vital role in global health coordination, providing disease surveillance, data sharing, and standards for vaccines and diagnostics that help New Zealand prevent outbreaks and maintain public health security. flag While national decisions during the pandemic were made independently, WHO guidance informed responses without dictating them. flag Abandoning the WHO would weaken New Zealand’s ability to anticipate and respond to global health threats, undermining national preparedness and regional leadership in the Pacific.
