AMA reacts to Trump’s defunding WHO


AMA statement on halting World Health Organization funding

APR 14, 2020


Statement attributed to:
Patrice A. Harris, M.D., M.A.
President, American Medical Association

“During the worst public health crisis in a century, halting funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) is a dangerous step in the wrong direction that will not make defeating COVID-19 easier. Fighting a global pandemic requires international cooperation and reliance on science and data. Cutting funding to the WHO – rather than focusing on solutions – is a dangerous move at a precarious moment for the world. The AMA is deeply concerned by this decision and its wide-ranging ramifications, and we strongly urge the President to reconsider.”
