Are Donald Trump and US politics bringing global health to its knees?
Manage episode 479551472 series 5381
Until recently, the USA provided about 30% of global health funding. It was dominant in supplying HIV/AIDS medication and funded a major part of medical research. Much of this has now stopped with Donald Trump restricting gender affirming care, withdrawing from the WHO and holding funds from USAID - and the list goes on. What are the impacts on pandemic preparedness, future global health priorities and resource mobilisation?
This conversation has been presented by the The Australian Institute for Infectious Disease (AIID) and the Australian Global Health Alliance.
