In a shocking move, the Trump administration has halted the supply of critical medical aid for HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis, as well as essential supplies for newborns in USAID-supported countries. This decision, as reported by Reuters, leaves approximately 20 million lives at risk. The cut in global health aid is expected to have far-reaching consequences, particularly in developing countries relying heavily on US assistance for disease prevention and healthcare services, including maternal healthcare and infectious disease control. This move has sparked widespread concern among global health experts and advocates for public health and human rights.
