The U.S. withdrawal from the WHO and the shutdown of USAID disrupt global health governance, threatening disease surveillance and reversing progress made in combating HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria through initiatives like PEPFAR. The WHO's central role in coordinating global health responses, exemplified by its leadership in the COVAX initiative, is critical to pandemic preparedness and equitable vaccine distribution. The disengagement decision undermines humanitarian relief efforts, particularly in fragile states where U.S. contributions are vital for food security, education, and healthcare. This policy brief outlines actionable recommendations to mitigate the risks of U.S. disengagement, focusing on regional health capacity-building, public-private partnerships, and the continuation of critical investments in global health systems.
美国退出世界卫生组织以及关闭美国国际开发署扰乱了全球卫生治理，威胁到疾病监测，并使通过总统防治艾滋病紧急救援计划（PEPFAR）等倡议在抗击艾滋病毒/艾滋病、结核病和疟疾方面取得的进展出现倒退。世界卫生组织在协调全球卫生应对方面的核心作用，以其在新冠疫苗全球获得机制（COVAX）倡议中的领导地位为例，对大流行防范和公平的疫苗分配至关重要。这一脱离接触的决定破坏了人道主义救援努力，特别是在脆弱国家，美国的贡献对粮食安全、教育和医疗保健至关重要。本政策简报概述了减轻美国脱离接触风险的可采取行动的建议，重点是区域卫生能力建设、公私伙伴关系以及对全球卫生系统关键投资的持续进行。
