With the Trump administration being sworn into office major decisions and a lot of shift are taking place and the latest is the proposed plan by the trump administration to cut funding to major world agency and charitable organizations but the most concerning one is the world health organization (W.H .O) which is in charge of health regulations and ensuring standards across the world

And most importantly is it role of distribution of important life saving drugs and some times even funding of the health care systems of many nations especially the developing countries and with this proposed plan waiting to be implemented due to delays coming from some U.S law makers challenging the order from the president if it scales through and becomes a law majority of the world population is going to suffer as some of these drugs especially life threatening diseases like H.I.V , Covid 19, Cancer , polio etc drugs are very expensive and most of the ordinary citizens of the world can't afford it especially from the african continent that health care is a major challenge to them due to corruption and not concern about government about the welfare of the citizens just imagine during the covid pandemic and there was no covid drug to be distributed to the world how many millions of life will have been lost

But looking at trump and the angle that he is coming from he is more concerned about America and the prosperity of Americans so to him every country should take responsibility of her affairs including health and critically looking at this decision if implement is not even out of place because some of these developing countries especially in the African continent without any racial sentiments has been sleeping on due and deliberately not concerned about the development of their countries but has perfected the act of stealing money ment for the development of their countries and running to America and Europe infact things are so bad in some of these developing countries that when their leaders become sick they don't make use of hospitals in their countries but run to Europe and America to take medical treatment so this move is in place as it will send the right message to countries all over the world that things has to change and that every country should take responsibility for the welfare of her citizens
Many people may see Trump as a racist for his massively deportation of migrant from America but if you look at it in different dimension I think Trump immigration policy should serve as encourage to most countries to look into the key issue that are hindering the development of their countries and make it a better place for their citizen because one of the major reason why most people are leaving their countries to a more develop countries is to look for a better comfortable place and greener pastures but if their countries are equip with the necessary things that make life meaningful many imigrant in US today that are being bully by US imagination will reside in their countries.
Many countries in the world today have everything thing it will takes to develop their nation but their corrupt leaders prefer looting their treasury and run to another countries that is develop by their leaders. It's high time everyone should thing about making their home a better place for their people.

The writing was on the wall if Trump got back into power and at some point these countries will need to become self sufficient. There is an argument that causing these countries to rely on aid actually does more harm than good in the long run, because they aren't forced to change or improve local practices which may be driving these issues in the first place. Pouring money into a problem does not necessarily solve it and while I feel bad for anyone suffering, it should be their own government that supports them. Aid traditionally has been used to build favor and goodwill with allies, especially when you look at Africa, but often those allies can be corrupt or even courting other countries to support them (like China or Russia) while taking this money - so the benefits from this arrangement shrink.

Africa is not the only continent that will suffer if the U.S. successfully withdraws from the W.H.O, the U.S. provides most of the funding and resources, so cutting it off would affect the organization and every country that benefits from the W.H.O's services.

This is not the first time Trump has tried to withdraw from the organization, IIRC, he also tried in 2020, before losing the election then to Joe Biden, who rescinded the decision Trump was trying to implement. I hope the U.S. reconsiders their decision, their contribution to global healthcare is immense and for the sake of the health of people all over the world, they have to continue in that way, and other countries that are still backward in healthcare have to take steps forward and allocate more funds to that sector.

I don't think this will affect only Africa but many countries because  withdrawing funding for World Health Organization and other similar agencies will affect not only Africa bit many countries. I don't blame Donald Trump because he is putting America and Americans first which was what he promised during the campaigns that brought him to power. A part of me is actually happy that this is happening so that Africa and some other countries that depend so much in aid will sit up as there will not be free handouts anymore.
both WHO and US will suffer

WHO needs the money that the usa is bringing in but usa need WHO’s services this organization handles global health crisis and without being part of it americans might expect a poorer public health system and their information would not be at par with the organization i do not know why americans would think they are above a global health organization that has helped gather data and use said data to make health decisions for the greater good of the rest of the world but well if trump feels that the money is better off not going to WHO then that is his decision

US has been too nice in helping people but they didn't take the advantage of it. Trump's decision is not surprising me at all. It shows how he cares of his country, though his decision will be sacrificed the lives of people with HIV.

He paused all of foreign aid for deeper review in 90 days. I don't see anything wrong with this. It's a common knowledge PEPFAR has been funded by US, and once US stopped it, then other countries must find the way to save their people.

US can't forever subsidize other countries healthcare.

This is what to expect. I am using the picture below about Nigeria as a case study of what to expect in other African countries that depend on WHO.



It's time for Africans to rise and take their healthcare sector seriously rather than depend on donations from WHO for their patient to be healthy and living.

African countries are blessed and also rich. Let them join hands together to develop and fix their country to avoid future occurrences like this, whereupon their wealth they depend on Western bodies donations

America has tried over the years to be supportive to Africa both in terms of financial assistance and supplies of some basic commodities. But it is quite unfortunate that African leaders see these support as opportunities to make some illegal money. These aids granted to African countries is one medium African leaders use to enrich themselves and their families. With the level of corruption in Africa, we shouldn't be surprised to see these drugs which are totally free being sold to the poor masses who really need them.

Africa is rich and blessed with lots of natural resources, they can produce these drugs for themselves if they want to. After all, America gets most of its raw materials from Africa. Africa has all they need to boost their economy, but greed and corruption won't let them use those natural resources they've got efficiently.
