[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In case you missed it in all the other news, all of USAID programs have a stop work order, with a few exceptions. The horrible thing is the work stops - no training midwives to respond to women hemorrhaging in childbirth, no rabies vaccination campaign, no Malaria bednet distribution. People will die.

But in addition, all of the thousands of us who implement this work just had our jobs…what? Frozen? Ended? If there is no money our NGOs can’t pay us. This isn’t the for-profit sector. There are no reserves or profit to keep people on for two weeks, let alone the three months given for this spending freeze.

I think the Trump administration just drove a stake through the heart of international public health and development, which of course was the point. My career of over 20 years may be over.[/quote]

I'm sorry. This is truly devastating. At a strategic level, China is ready to step into the vacuum left by this decision, and will yield even more influence abroad. And we just handed it to them. [/quote]
