flag The U.S. proposes a $2B annual plan to replace WHO disease monitoring post-withdrawal, facing criticism over effectiveness and cost.

flag The Trump administration is proposing a $2 billion annual plan to replace the U.S. role in global disease surveillance and outbreak response after withdrawing from the WHO, using bilateral agreements and expanded U.S. health agency presence abroad. flag The move, driven by criticism of the WHO’s pandemic handling and financial demands, faces strong opposition from public health experts who warn it would be less effective and more costly than the existing multilateral system, particularly due to limited data access from key countries. flag The U.S. previously contributed about $680 million yearly to the WHO, and now owes over $100 million in unpaid dues.
