The U.S. Is Proving the Case for the WHO
An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has spread to Uganda, prompting the World Health Organization to declare a public-health emergency. The U.S., having officially withdrawn from the WHO in January, is absent from the core international response, delaying its involvement and reducing the effectiveness of its aid efforts.
