WHO Reports Widespread Medical Care Shortages Due to Funding Cuts

The World Health Organization (WHO) announced that at least 70 countries are experiencing significant reductions in medical care access due to substantial funding cuts to aid programs. This includes facility closures, job losses among health workers, and increased out-of-pocket expenses for patients. The WHO is grappling with a $600 million budget shortfall and anticipates a 21% funding reduction over the next two years.
