Global health leaders call for action as the U.S.leaving the WHO causes a crisis.
Reading
The World Health Organization (WHO) is asking other countries to convince the United States to rejoin the organization. The U.S. left WHO after former President Trump said he would stop funding it.
The U.S. gives the most money to WHO, so losing that money is a big problem. WHO uses that money to track diseases around the world and keep people healthy.
WHO says it might have to cut programs if it doesn't get more money. These programs help stop outbreaks of diseases like Ebola and Marburg virus.
Some experts say that even though losing U.S. funding is bad, it might be a chance for WHO to change for the better. They say that countries need to give WHO more money so it can do its job well.
Other experts say that the U.S. will be less safe if it's not part of WHO. They say that the U.S. needs WHO to learn about outbreaks and keep Americans healthy.
