WHO Warns Trump’s Budget Cuts Could Cost Millions of Lives

The World Health Organization (WHO) has raised alarm over the catastrophic impact of U.S. budget cuts to global health aid.

Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that reductions in funding could lead to millions of deaths from HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis.

WHO reports that supply chain disruptions are already affecting treatments and prevention efforts, reversing decades of progress.

The organization urges the U.S. to reconsider or ensure a smooth transition, while calling on other donors to step up and prevent a global health crisis.
