After America, now Argentina has also decided to exit the World Health Organization (WHO). A spokesman for Argentine President Xavier Miley said that the United Nations Agency has been ordered to be taken out of the World Health Organization (WHO) due to serious differences. This decision by President Xavier Miley matches the decision of his colleague, US President Donald Trump, who started the process of taking America out of WHO with an executive order on the first day of taking over on 21 January.
Spokesperson Manual Adorney said at a news conference at Buenos Aires that Argentina’s decision is based on deep differences in health management, especially during (Kovid-19) epidemic. At that time, the biggest shutdown in the history of mankind was due to the guidelines of WHO. Argentina will not allow any international organization to intervene in its sovereignty and not in our health at all.
In fact, WHO has no right to force countries to take specific health action and is often disregarded by the organization guidelines and recommendations, including health crisis like Kovid-19. At the same time, the WHO said that it is considering the announcement of Argentina.
However, Adorney did not say when Miley’s decision will be implemented. He also said that the WHO lacks independence due to the political influence of some countries. The WHO is the only organization that has the right to coordinate global reactions for continuous hazards including acute health crises, especially the outbreaks of new diseases, and Ebola, AIDS and MPOx.
Let us know that President Miley was a sharp critic of a lockdown installed by former President Alberto Fernandez during the epidemic. He had insisted that this damaged the economy and the government used it as a system of suppression. Miley criticized WHO in a post on X on Wednesday and said, “Freedom is immortal”.
Adorney said that Argentina does not get funds from WHO for health management and the President’s decision does not affect the quality of health services. He said, “Conversely, it gives more flexibility to implement the policies adopted in the context of Argentina’s interests.”
Significantly, last year, Miley’s government refused to sign an agreement for the management of epidemic within the WHO structure. He had given the reason behind this that doing so could affect national sovereignty.
