The spread of coronavirus has changed the whole world. It has affected not only the lives of millions of people across the globe but also economic activities all around. Now it has taken the toll of international relations also which can be seen by the recent declaration from the government of the USA. As the number of coronavirus cases continues to surge, the Trump administration has decided to officially withdraw from the World Health Organization. A formal notification in this regard was sent to the Congress on Tuesday. According to White House reports, the official withdrawal will come into effect from the 6th of July. Keeping the spread of the virus and its related policy of WHO, the president of the USA had already shown his intention before a few days and now officially it is declared. It can be noted that Trump had officially announced his intention to withdraw from the WHO as it was not efficient in handling the coronavirus crisis. The Trump administration also accused the WHO of playing into the hands of China and this move is likely due to this behavior of the organization. However, many people are criticizing the move as it can negatively affect the US in this pandemic era and also cause a lot of troubles to global healthcare services. Experts also believe that it will affect the functionality of WHO to a considerable extent. Top Democrat officials like Bob Menendez said that it will leave America isolated in the fight against coronavirus and the move will not protect the interests of the country or its people in any manner. Several Democrats said that the move was completely irresponsible and short-sighted as it does not take into consideration the long term impact of such decisions on the healthcare sector in the US. Not only that, but even the global healthcare sector also needs the support and cooperation of the US and this will hurt everyone involved in the fight against this deadly pandemic. Joe Biden who is the presidential nominee for the Democrats said that this move is not good for America and he would happily rejoin the WHO as soon as he wins the elections. In his tweets, he went on to mention that Americans are safer when they are working in coordination with WHO. He also mentioned that America will restore its leadership on the world stage by rejoining WHO and protect lives during this pandemic. A World Health Organization spokesman said that they had received reports in this regard but no further information is available at this stage. However, White House officials have declared it formally and a notification is likely to be sent later this day. The WHO has not criticized this move so far and it would be interesting to see their reaction about the drastic move from the US. The Trump administration has gone all out in blaming WHO for its irresponsible behavior. It is especially angry with the fact that the WHO did not condemn China for the pandemic and did not ensure transparency in the early stages of the pandemic. Trump has always called it a China virus that originated from Wuhan. However, WHO officials are not making such statements about the origin of the virus and they have not entirely blamed China for the pandemic. The number of cases in the United States has surged near 3 million and the actual number of cases may be many times more than the reported numbers. The total number of deaths stands close to 130000 according to data available from John Hopkins University. However, experts believe that for every reported case, there may be many other cases as asymptomatic cases do not get registered in most instances. Considering this situation, Trump has said that the WHO has failed to identify the threats at an early stage and played like puppets of China. He went to add that the US has contributed nearly $450 million towards WHO which is more than the contribution of China. The Trump administration has mentioned that WHO is completely controlled by China and this has forced them to officially withdraw from the organization. Many Democrats have opposed the decision and introduced legislation to reverse the decision. They also intend to restore US funding to the World Health Organization. However, it may be difficult for them to restore the funding without some sort of support from Republicans. It is interesting to note that even some Republicans have also opposed the decision even though they have not openly expressed them in public. Several critics have attacked the Trump administration on this move and said that the government is trying to pass on the blame to WHO and China when it has failed in handling the crisis within the country. They also called for increasing the number of tests and encouraging people to wear masks and practice social distancing. It is interesting to note that Trump himself has never worn a mask in public events and openly expressed his disbelief about the effectiveness of wearing masks. The general public is not taking the pandemic seriously which is the main reason for the rapid spike in the number of cases. Health experts have also criticized the move saying that US administration should have a long term approach towards working with WHO as COVID 19 is not the last pandemic to strike the world. In the future, several lethal influenza strains may cause similar havoc, and engaging with WHO is the only way to take corrective measures in the long run. It is not a good idea to withdraw from WHO at this stage when the whole world is battling with the pandemic and trying to find a vaccine for this virus. The US needs to understand that America can get isolated in the fight against coronavirus if a suitable vaccine is not available by the end of this year. Considering all these factors, experts feel that the Trump administration should revoke this move and rejoin WHO at the earliest to find a solution to this pandemic. - As Soon As Vaccines Are Approved For kids, Millions Of Doses Shipped - October 22, 2021 - Female Physicians Facing Compounded Physical & Emotional Challenges - October 22, 2021 - Lazy Eye May Be Spotted Earlier By New Device - October 22, 2021

काठमाडौं – अमेरिकाले विश्व स्वास्थ्य संगठन (डब्लुएचओ)लाई दिँदै आएको आर्थिक सहयोग रोक्ने निर्णय गरेको छ । कोरोना भाइरसको महामारीको बेला डब्लुएचओले चीनको पक्ष लिएको र काम पनि सन्तोषजनक नभएको भन्दै अमेरिकाले उसलाई दिँदै आएको सहयोग रोक्ने निर्णय गरेको हो । नियमित प्रेस बिफ्रिङमा अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले भने, ‘डब्लुएचओको भूमिकाको समीक्षा गरियो, तर प्रभावकारी काम गर्न असफल रह्यो । त्यसैले मैले मेरो प्रशासनलाई डब्लुएचओलाई दिँदै आएको सहयोग रोक्न निर्देशन दिएको छु ।’ ट्रम्पले डब्लुएचओले चीनको पक्ष लिएको र कोरोना भाइरसबारे गलत सूचना दिएको आरोप लगाए । डब्लुएचओको गल्तीकै कारण विश्वभर कोरोना भाइरसका कारण धेरैले ज्यान गुमाइरहेको ट्रम्पको ठहर छ । उनले यसको जिम्मेवारी डब्लुएचओले लिनुपर्ने बताए । डब्लुएचओ संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघ अन्तर्गतको संस्था हो । अमेरिका यसको एकमात्र ठूलो दाता राष्ट्र हो । गत वर्ष अमेरिकाले डब्लुएचओलाई ४ सय मिलियन डलर उपलब्ध गराएको थियो । यो डब्लुएचओको कूल बजेटको करिब १५ प्रतिशत हो । अमेरिका कोरोना भाइरसबाट सबैभन्दा बढी प्रभावित देश हो । अमेरिकामा ६ लाख भन्दा बढीमा संक्रमण पुष्टि भएको छ भने २६ हजार भन्दा बढिको मृत्यु भइसकेको छ । यसअघि पनि अमेरिकाले डब्लुएचओको भूमिका सन्तोषजनक नभएको भनेर आलोचना गरेको थियो । त्यसलगत्तै डब्लुएचओले कोरोना भाइरसको महामारीलाई कसैले पनि राजनीतिकरण गर्न नहुने प्रतिक्रिया दिएको थियो । ट्रम्पले चीनको वुहान शहरबाट कोरोना भाइरसको संक्रमणको सुरुवात हुँदा डब्लुएचओले प्रकोपको पर्याप्त आँकलन गर्न नसकेको आरोप लगाए । उनले भने, ‘डब्लुएचओले चिकित्सा विशेषज्ञहरुलाई चीनमा पठाएर धरातलीय यथार्थ मूल्यांकन गरी वास्तविक अवस्था सार्वजनिक गरेको भए धेरै जनाको ज्यान जोगिन सक्थ्यो र आर्थिक क्षतिबाट पनि विश्वलाई जोगाउन सकिन्थ्यो । यसको सट्टा डब्लुएचओले चीन सरकारले गरेको कामको बचाउ गर्यो ।’ यसअघि ट्रम्पले नै कोरोना भाइरस नियन्त्रणका लागि राम्रो काम गरेको भन्दै चीनको प्रशंसा गरेका थिए । उनले राष्ट्रपति सी चिनफिङलाई फोन गरेर धन्यवादसमेत दिएका थिए । यो टेलिफोन वार्तालाई धेरैले अमेरिका र चीनबीच सम्बन्ध सुधारको संकेतको रुपमा ब्याख्या गरेका थिए ।
