WHO to lose nearly a quarter of its workforce – 2,000 jobs – due to US withdrawing funding

This comes as a result of the United States, the WHO's top donor, announcing its departure from the organization in January under the Trump administration.

The decision will have a significant impact on the organization's operations and its ability to address global health challenges.
