In a bold and historic move, Argentina and the United States have jointly announced their withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) and extended an open invitation to other nations to help create a new global health alliance. This groundbreaking initiative aims to restore scientific integrity, uphold national sovereignty, and ensure transparency in global health governance.

The announcement was made during a high-level meeting in Buenos Aires between U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Argentine Health Minister Mario Lugones. Both officials criticized the WHO’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, citing deep structural and operational flaws that compromised global responses.

The proposed alliance will emphasize disease prevention—especially in children—while tackling underlying causes such as environmental toxins, nutritional deficiencies, and weak food safety standards. The plan prioritizes effective results over ideological narratives, marking a significant shift from current global health policies.

This move aligns with President Donald Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” strategy and reinforces President Javier Milei’s broader reform agenda in Argentina’s healthcare sector. Both administrations are pushing for a return to scientific rigor, innovation, and institutional independence.

In their joint declaration, both countries extended a call to action: “The United States and Argentina invite all nations committed to scientific integrity, transparency, and the defense of human dignity to join us in ushering in a new era of global health cooperation, centered on results, sovereignty, and a safer future for all.
