Dr Anthony S. Fauci, representative of President Joe Bidden of United States, at the 148th session of the Executive Board of the World Health Organization (WHO) held 21st January 2021, has confirmed the readiness of President Joe Bidden to work with WHO.

According to Fauci, the new president signed letters retracting Trump’s Administration’s announcement to withdraw from the organization. “I am honored to announce that the United States will remain a member of the World Health Organization” he said. Adding that the letters have been transmitted to the Secretary-General of United Nations and to the WHO Director General Dr Tedros.

In addition to retracting the notification of withdrawal and retaining membership in the WHO, Dr Fauci said, the United States will cease the drawdown of U.S. staff seconded to the WHO and will resume regular engagement of U.S. government personnel with the WHO both directly and through USA’s WHO Collaborating Centers.

The United States, according to President Joe Bidden representative, also intends to fulfill its financial obligations to the organization. “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” said Fauci.

Dr Fauci added, “as a WHO member state, the United States will work constructively with partners to strengthen and importantly reform the WHO, to help lead the collective effort to strengthen the international COVID-19 response and address its secondary impacts on people, communities, and health systems around the world.”. Adding that the Biden Administration intends to be fully engaged in advancing global health, supporting global health security and the Global Health Security Agenda, and building a healthier future for all people.

“I am also pleased to announce today that the United States plans to work multilaterally to respond to and recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.  President Biden will issue a directive later today which will include the intent of the U.S. to join COVAX and support the ACT-Accelerator to advance multilateral efforts for COVID-19 vaccine, therapeutic, and diagnostic distribution, equitable access, and research and development.” Said Fauci

The United States, Fauci said  will  work with the WHO and Member States to counter the erosion of major gains in global health that have been achieved through decades of research, collaboration and investments in health and health security, including in HIV/AIDS, food security, malaria, and epidemic preparedness.

“And it will be our policy to support women’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights in the United States, as well as globally.  To that end, President Biden will be revoking the Mexico City Policy in the coming days, as part of his broader commitment to protect women’s health and advance gender equality at home and around the world.”

We realize that responding to COVID-19 and rebuilding global health and advancing health security around the world will not be easy.  And in this regard:

We are committed to transparency, including those events surrounding the early days of the pandemic.  It is imperative that we learn and build upon important lessons about how future pandemic events can be averted. The international investigation should be robust and clear, and we look forward to evaluating it;

Other President Bidden commitments to WHO include:

– work with the WHO and partner countries to strengthen and reform the WHO, improve mechanisms for responding to health emergencies across the United Nations, and strengthen the International Health Regulations;

– building global health security capacity, expanding pandemic preparedness, and supporting efforts to strengthen health systems around the world and to advance the Sustainable Development Goals;

– work with partners to develop new international financing mechanisms for health security;

– seek an improved, shared system for early warning and rapid response to emerging biological threats;

-support scientifically robust and ethically sound collaborative science, research and research capacity building, as well as the rapid sharing of research results, pathogen samples and data essential to research progress;

-strengthen pandemic supply chain networks;

– work with partners around the world to build a system that leaves us better prepared for this pandemic and for the next one.

– ready to work in partnership and solidarity to support the international COVID-19 response, mitigate its impact on the world, strengthen our institutions, advance epidemic preparedness for the future, and improve the health and wellbeing of all people throughout the world.”

In his response, Dr Tedros WHO Director General welcomes US pledge to maintain Membership in WHO.

While welcoming Dr Anthony Fauci, the WHO DG thanks and congratulates President Joe Bidden and the new Vice President Harris, and the American people. “This is a good day for WHO, and a good day for global health. I send my deep thanks and warm congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Harris, and to the American people. Thank you, President Biden, for honouring your pledge to maintain the membership of the United States in WHO.”

  12. Valuable information. Lucky me I discovered your website by accident, and I’m
    surprised why this twist of fate did not came about earlier!
    I bookmarked it.

  13. Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?

    I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. However think about if
    you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!

    Your content is excellent but with images and video clips,
    this site could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.

    Great blog!

  14. Wonderful blog you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed here?
    I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get comments from other knowledgeable individuals that share the same interest.
    If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
    Kudos!

  15. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my
    apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so
    she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.
    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  16. I love your blog.. very nice colors & theme.
    Did you design this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
    Plz respond as I’m looking to design my own blog and would like
    to find out where u got this from. appreciate it

  17. Hello just wanted to give you a quick heads
    up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer.
    I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to
    do with internet browser compatibility but
    I thought I’d post to let you know. The design look great though!

    Hope you get the problem fixed soon. Thanks

  18. It’s the best time to make some plans for the future and it

  19. When I initially left a comment I appear to have clicked on the
    -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each
    time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the exact same comment.
    There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?
    Thanks a lot!

  20. Fantastic blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little
    lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid
    option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused ..

    Any recommendations? Many thanks!
