Argentina Leaves WHO

Mar 17 2026

Today, Argentina left the World Health Organization (WHO).

When he first announced the decision last year, Argentina’s President, Javier Milei, was blunt about why his country was walking away:

“We have decided to leave such a harmful organisation, which was the executing arm of what was the largest social-control experiment in history.”

Today, Pablo Quirno, Argentina’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Worship said:

“Our country will continue to promote international cooperation in health through bilateral agreements and regional forums, fully safeguarding its sovereignty and its decision-making capacity in health policy matters.”

The question now is: will other nations follow?
