    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), part of the Department of Health and Human Services, is awarding around $20 million to the World Health Organization (WHO), with the total expected funding to reach approximately $100 million over five years. This funding will help CDC and WHO work together to improve the world's ability to detect, respond to, and prevent infectious diseases. The focus is on building infrastructure and preparing for disease outbreaks, using WHO's global network to support these efforts. The award period is from September 2025 to September 2030.

    Simple Explanation

    The CDC is giving a big chunk of money to the World Health Organization to work together on stopping diseases from spreading all over the world, but some people are concerned because they didn't ask anyone else if they wanted to help, and it's not super clear how all the money will be used.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is seeking public comments on proposals by the World Health Organization (WHO) to impose international restrictions on several drug substances through treaties. These drugs include Isotonitazene, various synthetic cannabinoids, and benzodiazepines, among others, and are considered for control due to their potential for abuse and lack of recognized therapeutic use. The feedback from the public will help the United States formulate its stance for an upcoming United Nations Commission on Narcotic Drugs meeting. Comments are due by March 22, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The FDA is asking people to share their thoughts about whether some drugs, which can be dangerous and aren't used as medicines, should be controlled more strictly around the world. They need this feedback to decide what the United States should say in an important meeting.

  • 2025-01957 — Withdrawing the United States From the World Health Organization
    Type:Presidential Document
    Citation:90 FR 8361
    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Executive Order 14155 announces the United States' plan to withdraw from the World Health Organization (WHO), citing dissatisfaction with the organization's handling of global health crises and financial demands on the U.S. The order revokes a previous 2021 retraction of withdrawal from the WHO and outlines steps to stop U.S. financial support and personnel involvement with the organization. It calls for the establishment of new mechanisms to protect public health and directs U.S. officials to communicate the withdrawal to international parties while pausing negotiations on a WHO Pandemic Agreement.

    Simple Explanation

    The United States has decided to stop being a part of the World Health Organization (WHO) because they are not happy with how WHO is dealing with health problems around the world and the money they ask for. Instead, they plan to find new ways to keep people healthy without WHO's help.
