By Anthonia Obokoh

The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that the recent suspension of U.S. foreign aid has disrupted critical health programs in 50 countries.

WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned on Wednesday that the U.S. pause on foreign aid contributions is having a serious impact on global health, particularly on programs fighting polio, HIV, and other health threats.
