Restructuring USAID: Impacts on Global Health

This chapter delves into recent shifts in US foreign aid policies, particularly the changes within USAID and its impending integration into the State Department. It explores the potential consequences of this transition on global health initiatives, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where crucial programs are at risk due to reduced support. The discussion also highlights the broader implications of funding pauses on longstanding health initiatives like PEPFAR, while introducing emerging research on changing lung cancer trends.
