Argentina is withdrawing from the WHO due to specific reasons.

The President of Argentina, Javier Milei, has made the decision to withdraw the country from the World Health Organization (WHO) due to "deep disagreements in health management."

This was announced during a press conference by the president's spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, as reported by Ambito.

"President Javier Milei has instructed Foreign Minister Gerardo Vertein to withdraw Argentina from the WHO," Adorni stated.

He explained that this decision is driven by "deep disagreements in health management" during the COVID-19 pandemic, which "along with the actions of the former president Alberto Fernández's government, led to the largest quarantine in human history and dependence on the political influence of certain states."

In addition, he canceled a letter from his predecessor Joe Biden, sent on January 20, 2021, to the UN Secretary-General, which referred to the termination of Trump's order to initiate the withdrawal process of the U.S. from the organization during his first term.
