Javier Milei's government finalises Argentina's withdrawal from the WHO, citing health sovereignty. Despite this, it assures that international cooperation in health will continue through bilateral and regional agreements.
Argentina has formally withdrawn from the World Health Organization, one year after formally announcing its decision, as confirmed by Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno at X.
"Today Argentina's withdrawal from the World Health Organisation (WHO) is effective, one year after the formal notification made by our country," Quirno said, recalling that the notification was made on 17 March 2025 to the UN secretary general. "In accordance with the provisions of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, the withdrawal takes place one year later," he added.
