Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini, made headlines recently when he announced his plans to follow in the footsteps of President Donald Trump and withdraw Italy from the World Health Organization.
In a post on X, Salvini stated, “This morning, the League presented its bill to LEAVE the WHO, as the United States did with Donald Trump.
Italy no longer has to deal with a supranational power center – handsomely funded by Italian taxpayers – that goes hand in hand with multinational pharmaceutical companies.
Let’s use those 100 million to support the sick in Italy and fund our hospitals and doctors!”
✅ Presentata questa mattina alla Camera la proposta di legge della Lega per USCIRE dall’OMS (Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità), come hanno fatto gli Stati Uniti con Donald Trump.

Italy’s choice to withdraw from the WHO has prompted many in India to ask why their government has not done the same. With the pressing global health issues after vaccine side effects and the WHO’s mishandling of the pandemics, there are calls within India for the government to take a similar stance.
Just days after President Trump announced that the US is pulling out of the World Health Organization, the UN health agency informed its employees on January 23, 2025, that they are halting new job hires and reducing travel.
With President Trump’s announcement of a $500 billion investment in an AI infrastructure project called Stargate, the conversation around automation and its impact on employment has intensified. Will AI take over jobs in this plan of WHO to freeze recruitment?
In the case of WHO, the freeze on recruitment could pave the way for AI to step in and fulfill roles that were previously done by humans. Tasks such as data analysis, research, and even decision-making could soon be handled by AI systems.
But what does this mean for the employees of WHO and other healthcare sectors? Will they need to adapt to this new reality by acquiring new skills and knowledge in AI? Or could this lead to job losses and displacement within the organization? As AI continues to evolve and become more sophisticated, these questions are really important for people working in different fields, especially in healthcare.
While the integration of AI has the potential to streamline processes and increase efficiency, there are valid concerns about its impact on traditional job roles. As automation continues to advance, the risk of job displacement becomes a reality for many industries. The healthcare sector, in particular, is likely to see a significant transformation as AI technologies are implemented to streamline diagnosis, treatment, and patient care.
On April 13, 2024, people in Japan protested against the World Health Organization’s pandemic treaty. They are worried that it might take away their rights and control how the government runs things. Many Japanese citizens are afraid that this treaty could mean more rules and limits on their everyday lives. Some are even considering the possibility that Japan might exit the WHO.
