世界卫生组织回应美国退出通知

世界卫生组织就美国通知退出作出声明，表示对此决定感到遗憾，认为这一举动将使美国和世界都变得不安全1。作为WHO创始成员国，美国的退出通知将在2月2日WHO执行委员会常规会议和2026年5月世界卫生大会上进行审议1。

美国指控WHO在COVID-19疫情期间存在失职、隐瞒信息并损害其独立性1。WHO驳斥了这些指控1。WHO表示，在2019年12月31日接到武汉不明原因肺炎病例首报后，立即激活了应急管理系统1。组织在2020年1月30日宣布COVID-19为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件，当时中国以外仅有不足100例确诊病例和零死亡报告1。WHO强调自己在疫情期间迅速行动、透明共享信息，并作为联合国专门机构始终保持中立1。

The World Health Organization has issued a statement responding to the United States' notification of withdrawal from the organization, expressing regret over the decision and warning that it poses risks to both America and the global community 1. The United States, as a founding member of the WHO, has formally announced its intent to leave the organization 1.

According to WHO, the withdrawal notification will be reviewed at the organization's Executive Board regular meeting scheduled for February 2 and subsequently at the World Health Assembly in May 2026 1. The U.S. government has accused WHO of negligence during the COVID-19 pandemic, alleging that the organization concealed information and compromised its independence 1. In response, WHO has firmly rejected these allegations, emphasizing its swift response and transparent information sharing throughout the pandemic 1. The organization noted that it received the first report of unexplained pneumonia cases in Wuhan on December 31, 2019, and immediately activated its emergency management systems 1. WHO declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency of International Concern on January 30, 2020, at a time when fewer than 100 confirmed cases had been reported outside China with zero deaths 1.

The WHO's governance structure comprises 194 member states 1. As a UN specialized agency, WHO stressed its commitment to maintaining neutrality in its operations 1.
