Who Will Care for #Infants With #HIV Overseas?
The consequences of# mother-to-child transmission can be enormous, a new study suggests. But the US has dismissed experts working to solve the problem. The Trump administration has dismissed the few remaining #health officials who oversaw care for some of the world’s most vulnerable people: more than 500,000 #children and more than 600,000 #pregnant women with H.I.V. in low-income countries.

"The complaints come as the Trump administration is dismantling wide swaths of the federal government — including conducting mass layoffs at the FDA — and filling some key regulatory positions with industry-friendly voices. The new head of the FDA division that oversees baby formula is a corporate lawyer who previously defended Abbott against a lawsuit."

In an #executiveorder issued January 20, President Donald Trump paused new #foreignaid funding to global #health programs, and four days later, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a stop-work order on existing foreign aid assistance.
