The Trump administration's aid freeze has brought life-saving programs to a grinding halt, sparking widespread mayhem. In Ghana and Kenya, crucial anti-malaria campaigns are stalled, leaving insecticide and mosquito nets to gather dust in warehouses. Meanwhile, in Haiti, a group treating HIV patients anxiously awaits approval, highlighting the human cost of the delay. As the situation worsens, global health experts warn of a potential crisis, with malaria treatment and HIV care hanging in the balance. The aid freeze has significant implications for public health, with vulnerable populations bearing the brunt. Key concerns include malaria prevention and HIV treatment access.
