What happened
A study published in kesq.com details how the pattern of funding cuts to global health programs has disrupted services across various countries. In Tanzania, a health care program providing services for HIV-exposed infants, children, and pregnant women was abruptly halted in January 2025 due to a letter from the now-dismantled United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The pattern of service disruptions continues in Tanzania, even though limited US government funding has returned.

Why it matters
The pattern of service disruption is linked to the Trump administration’s cuts to global health funding and the dismantling of USAID, according to the study cited in. This pattern of cuts is playing out across Africa, Asia, and beyond, affecting flagship health programs.
Health systems in Africa are facing strain due to recent funding cuts.
