The sudden halt in US funding, including cuts to USAID programs, is severely hindering global efforts to combat diseases like HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis, warn researchers. This move is not only jeopardizing years of progress but also threatening the lives of millions worldwide. The freeze is causing chaos and undermines the fight against infectious diseases, ultimately putting global health security at risk. With the suspension of these critical programs, the world may see a resurgence of preventable diseases. Health experts are urging immediate action to restore funding and ensure the continuation of vital health programs. Global health initiatives and disease prevention are at stake.
