GENEVA (Reuters) -Member states of the World Health Organization on Tuesday approved a revised budget of $4.2 billion for the next two years at the annual assembly in Geneva, reflecting belt-tightening after the United States, its top donor, announced its withdrawal.
The proposed budget for the next two years was revised down by 21% earlier this year to reflect the expected loss of funding from the U.S., which is set to withdraw in January 2026.
The new budget asks states to contribute 20% more in mandatory fees to the organisation.
