China Pledges $500 Million to WHO, Replacing US as Top Donor
- On May 20, 2025, at the World Health Assembly in Geneva, China’s Vice Premier Liu Guozhong revealed that Beijing will contribute $500 million more to the WHO funding pool over the coming five years.
- The pledge addresses a funding gap created after the United States formally withdrew from the WHO, ending decades of U.S. financial leadership.
- The WHO has revised its 2026-2027 budget downward by 21% to $4.2 billion, increasing mandatory fees by 20% to offset a $1.9 billion shortfall affecting healthcare in at least 70 countries.
- China’s Vice Premier Liu Guozhong said, "Multilateralism is a sure pass to addressing difficulties," as Beijing positions itself as the WHO's largest state donor amid global health challenges caused by unilateralism.
- This development signals a shift in global health governance power dynamics, with China stepping up as a key backer while the WHO adapts to reduced U.S. engagement.
