Health officials in the U.S. and Argentine governments announced on May 27 that they want other countries to join the two nations after both withdrew from the World Health Organization (WHO) earlier this year.
A joint statement released by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Argentine Minister of Health Mario Lugones noted that both countries removed themselves from the WHO in recent months, namely because of what they termed as misdeeds and mistakes during the COVID-19 pandemic.
