Nearly one-third of women worldwide faced partner or sexual violence: WHO

The World Health Organization (WHO) is set to lose nearly a quarter of its workforce by June 2026, resulting in over 2,000 job losses. This reduction is attributed to budget cuts following the withdrawal of funding from the United States. Experts warn that this significant staff reduction will compromise the organization's ability to respond effectively to global health crises.

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced it will reduce its workforce by nearly a quarter, resulting in over 2,000 job losses, due to the withdrawal of funding from the United States. This decision follows the Trump administration's exit from the organization in January, which has led to significant operational cutbacks and a halving of its management team. The WHO is now focusing on implementing reforms in light of this funding loss.
