(American Greatness)—U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his Argentine counterpart, Minister of Health Mario Lugones, signed a joint declaration Tuesday reaffirming their countries’ withdrawals from the World Health Organization (WHO) and creating an alternative international health system.
“Withdrawal marks the beginning of a new path—toward building a modern global health cooperation model grounded in scientific integrity, transparency, sovereignty, and accountability,” Kennedy and Lugones said.
Kennedy traveled to Buenos Aires, Argentina, for a two day trip to meet with Lugones and Argentine President Javier Milei to discuss key health priorities, including healthcare reform, “MAHA objectives like addressing chronic disease,” and their new global health collaboration. They also reportedly sought to define “a joint work agenda that will strengthen transparency and trust in the health system”.
Lugones said in a statement that the declaration “expresses a shared vision of the challenges facing the region’s health systems and the measures needed to transform them.”
