WHO sieht Fortschritte bei Müttersterblichkeit gefährdet
Trotz Erfolgen in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten ist die WHO über die weiterhin hohe Müttersterblichkeit besorgt. Die Kürzung internationaler Hilfen - etwa durch die USA - könnte bisherige Fortschritte zunichtemachen.
The World Health Organization lost its biggest funder, the US, when Trump cancelled the county's membership.
The organization then launches a campaign to raise funds, the One World Health For All movement. They have collected $508,544 so far. If you want to help, click on the link or boost this post.
The World Health Organization has proposed slashing a fifth of its budget following the U.S. decision to withdraw, and must now reduce its reach and workforce. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/30/world/science-health/who-budget-cut-us-pullout/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #who #health #medicine #us #donaldtrump #tedrosadhanomghebreyesus

The #UnitedStates has paused contributions to the #WorldTradeOrganization [#WTO], 3 trade sources told Reuters, as #Trump's admin ramps up efforts to cut govt spending.
The Trump admin is retreating from global institutions it sees as at odds w/his "America First" economic policies. It plans to quit some, such as the #WorldHealthOrganization [#WHO], & has cut contributions to others as part of a broad review of federal spending.

Update. "Strong Scientific Leaders Must Speak Out against the Trump Administration’s Science Denial"
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/strong-scientific-leaders-must-speak-out-against-the-trump-administrations/
"We are proud to be members of the #NAS [National Academy of Sciences], but we are not proud of its present inaction. In these challenging and defining times, the National Academy of Sciences, of all scientific institutions, must speak up…The new #Trump administration is now making an unprecedented effort to prevent science from informing public policy. In his first day in office, President Trump signed executive orders withdrawing the U.S. from participation in the Paris Agreement on #climate change and from the World Health Organization [#WHO]. The new administration has subsequently acted to drastically limit support for climate and medical research performed by scientists in the federal government and in universities. In this emergency, it is not enough for the National Academy of Sciences to speak up from its grass roots, as in 2016 or 2018. It must now speak as an institution if it is to fulfill its responsibilities to the nation and maintain its relevance in the future."
