💨 Abstract
The World Health Organization (WHO) member states approved a $4.2 billion budget for the next two years, reduced by 21% due to the anticipated withdrawal of the U.S. as the top donor in 2026. The new budget requires member states to increase their mandatory contributions by 20% to compensate for the loss of funding. This adjustment reflects ongoing belt-tightening measures.
