WHO Withdrawal Act
HR 54, the WHO Withdrawal Act, directs the U.S. President to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) Constitution upon enactment and prohibits all federal funding for U.S. participation in the WHO or any successor organization. The bill repeals the 1948 law that established U.S. membership and funding for WHO participation. This legislation directly affects all federal departments and agencies that handle international health funding and diplomatic engagement, ending U.S. financial and legal ties to the WHO.
