The World Health Organization helps coordinate response to global health threats and assists poorer countries. The US did account for 15% of the WHO's budget, more than most countries but less per capita than Germany. The US will lose access to WHO datasets and a leading role in health diplomacy, while vital resources may be lost to other communities.
