Description

President Donald Trump signed an executive order for the US to leave the World Health Organization, or WHO. It needs to be approved by Congress, but if it goes into effect, the WHO will lose its largest donor and access to all the data the UN organization collects and disseminates to member countries. Devi Sridhar is co-author of the book, "Governing Global Health: Who Runs the World and Why?"
