World Health Organization Video: Impact of the US funding cuts on global health programmes around the world
The US Administration has been extremely generous over many years, and it is within its rights to decide what it supports, and to what extent.
But the abrupt cuts in funding from the US are putting at risk decades of progress in various health programmes across the world. We ask the US to engage in dialogue with affected countries so plans can be made to transition to more sustainable solutions, without disruptions that cost lives.
We call on other donors and the countries that have relied on US financing to step up -- to the extent they can.
