US exit from WHO worries Garin: It will affect Philippines
Iloilo 1st district Rep. Janette Garin described US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization (WHO) as "understandable" but expressed concern over its implications for other countries, including the Philippines.
Garin highlighted the significance of WHO funding for the Philippines' health programs and issues.
She also anticipates a reduction in assistance from the US Agency for International Development (USAID) due to this move.
Trump's withdrawal from the WHO was among his initial actions after returning to the White House, a decision Garin believes stems from his administration's intent to prioritize domestic spending.
