Rubio Criticizes WHO's Ebola Response as US Continues Sweeping Public Health Cuts Marco Rubio's recent comments criticizing the World Health Organization (WHO) for its response to the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda are a perfect example of how politics can undermine public health efforts.
The US Secretary of State's remarks echo Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the WHO, sparking debate about the organization's role in global health governance.
Rubio's criticism of the WHO's response is not entirely unfounded, but it is misplaced and misdirected.
