Argentina formally withdrew from the World Health Organization on Tuesday, the country's foreign minister said, following in the path of the United States which took the same step earlier this year.

The government of President Javier Milei had announced its intention to leave the UN health body a year ago.

The Foreign Ministry said Argentina has now completed the withdrawal process within the timeframe stipulated by international treaties.

"Argentina will continue to promote international cooperation in health through bilateral agreements and regional forums, while fully preserving its sovereignty and its capacity to make decisions regarding health policies," Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno said on X.
