LONDON >> The United States officially left the World Health Organization on Thursday after a year of warnings that doing so would hurt public health in the U.S. and globally, saying its decision reflected failures in the U.N. health agency’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic.

LONDON, Jan 22 (Reuters) - The U. is due to officially exit the World Health Organization on Thursday, in the face of warnings it will hit both U.

President Donald Trump gave notice that the US. would quit the organization on the first day of his presidency in 2025, via an executive order. Under US law, it has to give one-year notice and pay all outstanding fees before departure.

The United States completed its World Health Organization withdrawal one year after Trump's executive order, citing WHO's delayed COVID-19 response.

America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) is set to formally conclude on Thursday.
