In the early years, it also "poorly performed" against the SARS and Ebola outbreaks. The United States has no reason to continue to support WHO.

U. S. State Department and officials in the United States said the United States has submitted a formal notification to the Secretary General of the common country, Guterres, the United States will withdraw from the WHO on July 6 next year.

"I am very sad because the world is facing a major health crisis, the last six months have been very bad, and I am afraid = will get worse in the next six months ," Nabarro said. "
