U.S. Officially Completes Withdrawal from World Health Organization

Decision Finalized One Year After Trump Signed Executive Order Initiating Exit

The United States has formally completed its withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO), the Trump administration announced on Thursday, marking a significant shift in the country’s role in global health governance. The move comes exactly one year after President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the federal government to begin the withdrawal process.

A senior official from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) stated that the administration determined the WHO had “strayed from its core mission” and, on multiple occasions, acted in ways that were inconsistent with U.S. interests. According to the official, these actions raised concerns about the organization’s effectiveness in protecting the health and safety of the American public.

The administration has long criticized the WHO’s leadership, transparency, and handling of major global health crises, arguing that the United States’ continued participation did not align with its strategic and public health priorities. Supporters of the decision say the withdrawal allows the U.S. to pursue alternative global health partnerships and strategies that better reflect national interests.

However, critics warn that leaving the WHO could weaken international cooperation on disease prevention, emergency response, and global health security, potentially limiting the U.S. influence in shaping worldwide health policies.

Miss World Malaysia Taanusiya Chetty has launched Project Lestari Laut (Learning by the Waves), an education initiative aimed at improving access to learning for indigenous Orang Asli children living in remote coastal communities across Malaysia. The project was introduced through a site visit to Kampung Orang Asli Sungai Dua on Pulau Ketam, a small island settlement accessible only by water. Leading the initiative, Taanusiya and her team traveled from Kuala Lumpur to Port Klang before continuing by ferry and small boats to reach the village. The community is home to 22 families and around 35 children, many of whom live in modest stilt houses built over the sea. Limited infrastructure, sanitation challenges, and environmental neglect have made daily life difficult. Access to education remains one of the biggest obstacles, as the nearest school is located far from the village and requires risky daily boat travel, often affected by tides and unpredictable weather. These chall...
