New poll shows voters want strong U.S. involvement in WHO health efforts

A recent poll, released by the United Nations Foundation and the Better World Campaign, found that 9 out of 10 American voters support United States involvement with the World Health Organization- the global health authority within the United Nations.

With decreases in U.S. dollars spent  for global health initiatives eminent, it’s good to see that Americans across all backgrounds and political affiliations believe that WHO programming is necessary.

You can see all the results here. They also appeared in an article published by The Hill.
