The US withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO) has sparked global concern and reignited discussion about the need to reform global health systems. Germany, South Africa and the UK have joined forces to highlight the urgency of greater international cooperation. At a meeting in Johannesburg, Federal Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil emphasized that in view of declining international commitments and increasing pressure on health budgets, pooling forces and increasing efficiency were essential.
The United States, previously the WHO’s largest donor, has terminated its membership under President Donald Trump’s administration, effective from 2026. This represents a significant financial loss for the organization, which is already facing 20 percent austerity. Germany has committed to allocating one billion euros to the fight against AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria from 2026 to 2028, becoming the Global Fund’s largest government donor during this period.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is also calling for reform of the global health system to maximize the impact of investments. He emphasizes the need to find new approaches to development and strengthen international cooperation. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa highlights the importance of resilient health systems and calls for a greater focus on local production of medicines and securing sustainable financing.
The challenges facing WHO and global health systems are complex and require innovative solutions. Reforming the global health architecture is crucial to meet current and future challenges and ensure the sustainability of investments in health. The international community is called upon to take responsibility and work together towards a better future for global health.
