The withdrawal of the US  from the World Health Organization (WHO) is a major blow to Kenya and global health systems, experts have warned.

They have also cautioned that the move could weaken disease surveillance, disrupt critical programmes and strain already stretched health systems.

The decision is expected to have far-reaching consequences for global health agencies at a time when donor funding is declining, with countries grappling with multiple public health threats.
