Argentina's decision to withdraw from the WHO was announced by presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni at a press conference at Casa Rosada. During the press conference, Adorni intensified his criticism of the actions of the WHO leadership during the pandemic. He noted that the decision is a step “towards the sovereignty of Argentina's healthcare”.
We, the Argentines, will not allow an international organization to interfere with our sovereignty, let alone our health
Recall
Donald Trump has signed a decree to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization. The reasons for this are the mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of reforms, and excessive US financial contributions.
