Withdrawing from the World Health Organization: What’s Next for the Cleaning Industry?

What is our role in protecting the public against infectious diseases

President Donald Trump signed an order on Monday to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO), as CMM previously reported.

But what does this mean for you—both personally and professionally?

This episode explores how this decision could ripple through industries, especially in the cleaning sector. We explore the potential implications for global health guidance, shifts in cleaning standards, and how businesses in the cleaning industry might adapt to the evolving landscape.

With these challenges, businesses must change to become leaders in innovation, education, and public health advocacy.

Dr. Gavin Macgregor-Skinner, senior director of ISSA, shares his experiences working with WHO and what this separation from the WHO means for ISSA and its member organizations.
