Watan<\/strong><\/em>-Hundreds of officials from the World Health Organization (WHO), donor agencies, and diplomats are gathering in Geneva starting Monday for an annual summit dominated by one central question: how can the WHO continue addressing crises from smallpox to cholera without its main funder\u2014the United States?<\/p>\n

This weeklong annual meeting includes discussions, votes, and key decisions showcasing the UN agency\u2019s role in disease outbreaks, vaccine approvals, and global health system support.<\/p>\n

But this year\u2019s core issue is scaling back the organization\u2019s scope, after U.S. President Donald Trump initiated a formal one-year process to withdraw from the WHO via an executive order on his first day in office this January.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to focus on high-value priorities,\u201d said Daniel Thornton, WHO\u2019s director of resource mobilization, in a statement to Reuters.<\/p>\n

WHO Preserves Core Functions Amid U.S. Exit and $600M Funding Gap<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

Health officials say core WHO functions\u2014like providing guidance on new vaccines and treatments for conditions ranging from obesity to HIV\u2014will remain intact. However, programs like training and offices in wealthier countries may be shut down.<\/p>\n

A confidential WHO presentation seen by Reuters confirms that drug approval and outbreak response roles will be preserved, while less essential activities face downsizing.<\/p>\n

The U.S. previously contributed around 18% of WHO funding. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to make do with what we have,\u201d said one Western diplomat anonymously.<\/p>\n

Since Trump\u2019s withdrawal order in January\u2014part of a wider wave of executive moves and aid cuts that disrupted multilateral initiatives\u2014WHO has been preparing by reducing directors and trimming budgets.<\/p>\n

Despite the year-long legal delay for the U.S. exit, its official departure is scheduled for January 21, 2026. The U.S. flag will remain outside WHO headquarters in Geneva until then.<\/p>\n

Trump caused further confusion days after the order by suggesting he might reconsider if the WHO \u201ccleans itself up.\u201d Yet global health envoys say he hasn\u2019t shown signs of reversing course.<\/p>\n

Facing a $600 million budget shortfall and planned 21% cuts over the next two years, WHO is pressing forward with strategic restructuring.<\/p>\n

China Steps In<\/strong><\/h3>\n

As the U.S. exits, China is poised to become the WHO\u2019s largest assessed contributor\u2014one of the agency\u2019s key funding sources alongside voluntary donations. China’s contribution will rise from just over 15% to 20% under a major funding reform agreed in 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must learn to function in multilateral organizations without the Americans. Life goes on,\u201d said Chen Xu, China\u2019s ambassador to Geneva, last month.<\/p>\n

Others see this moment as an opportunity for sweeping reform rather than maintaining a reshuffled donor hierarchy.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes the WHO need all its committees? Does it need to publish thousands of documents every year?\u201d asked Anil Soni, CEO of the WHO Foundation, an independent fundraising body.<\/p>\n

Soni noted the crisis has forced the agency to rethink priorities, including whether it should handle logistics like fuel purchasing during emergencies.<\/p>\n

To prevent key projects from collapsing, WHO is now leaning on mission-focused donors\u2014such as pharmaceutical firms and philanthropic organizations.<\/p>\n

Recently, the ELMA Foundation\u2014which supports child health in Africa\u2014contributed $2 million to sustain the Global Measles and Rubella Laboratory Network (GMRLN), involving over 700 labs tracking infectious disease threats.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, WHO continues work on finalizing a historic global agreement on future pandemic preparedness and organizing new donor investment rounds.<\/p>\n

But funding remains the central challenge. Ahead of the summit, WHO\u2019s Director-General emailed staff urging them to volunteer\u2014unpaid\u2014as event guides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
