U.S. reaffirms partnership with World Health Organization
By U.S. Embassy Tbilisi
5 MINUTE READ

January 21, 2021

The United States is resuming support for the World Health Organization , which
plays a vital role in fighting the global COVID-19 pandemic.

President Biden announced the renewed commitment to the WHO in a January 20
letter to United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres , reversing the
prior administration’s plan to leave the U.N.’s public health arm in July.

“The WHO plays a crucial role in the world’s fight against the deadly COVID-19
pandemic as well as countless other threats to global health and health
security,” Biden said in the letter. “The United States will continue to be a
full participant and a global leader in confronting such threats and advancing
global health and health security.”

The renewed support for the WHO was one of a series of actions Biden took after
his inauguration to end COVID-19  and strengthen U.S. leadership on global
challenges.

function of protecting themselves from the disinfecting agent. (U.S. Army photo

On January 21, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the U.S. government’s top expert on
diseases, told a meeting of the WHO’s executive board  the United States will
work multilaterally to fight COVID-19 and participate in joint efforts to
distribute vaccines and therapeutics, such as the COVID-19 Vaccines Global
Access (COVAX) initiative and the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator.

“The United States sees technical collaboration at all levels as a fundamental
part of our relationship with WHO, one that we value deeply and will look to
strengthen going forward,” Fauci said.

The new administration also will strengthen U.S. efforts to fight COVID-19 and
respond to future pandemics. A seven-point plan to fight COVID-19  calls for
providing consistent evidence-based guidance, distributing vaccines and
treatments equitably, and imposing nationwide mask mandates, among other
actions.

The administration will restore the White House National Security Council
Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, re-launch a U.S. Agency
for International Development pathogen-tracking program and expand the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention’s number of disease detectives.

Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the State Department and USAID have
announced more than $1.5 billion in aid  to help governments, nonprofits and
international organizations fight the pandemic. The funding saves lives by
improving public health education, supporting health care facilities and
increasing disease surveillance  in more than 120 countries.
