The Life Initiative and Medical Research Project, which saves life, has been closed around the world in response to the 90 -day suspension of the Trump administration’s foreign aid and stop order.
In Uganda, the National Malaria Control Program stopped the pesticide to the village house and stopped delivering the bed net to distribute it to pregnant women and children, the program manager, Jimmy Opigo, said.
Medical supplies, including drugs to prevent bleeding of pregnant women, and rehabilitation salt that treats diarrhea that threatens the life of infants cannot reach the village of Zambia. Usaid
Dozens of clinical trials in South Asia, Africa and Latin America have been suspended. Thousands of people registered in the study have drugs, vaccines and medical devices in the body, but they can no longer access researchers who supervise continuous treatment or treatment.
In the interview, more than 20 researchers and program managers explained the upheaval of health systems in countries all over the development of developing countries. Most of them are afraid to endanger the possibility of resuming the project to the reporter, and I agreed to the interview on the conditions where the name is not published.
Many of the interviews shed tears, describing the rapid destruction of decades of work.
Programs of frozen or folded programs for the last six days support the migration management of infectious diseases, providing treatment and preventive measures to help prevent millions of deaths from AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and other diseases. They also presented the merciful and generous image of the United States in countries where China is increasingly affected.
The State Department and USAID did not respond to the request.
There will be no one who will detain millions of dollars worth of supplies in an important oxygen system purchased for a program that supports the health clinics of the world’s poorest countries. The ships currently being shipped will arrive at the port in the future, but the staff of the program have been ordered to stop the work.
On Tuesday night, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the exemption of financing of funds for “support for humanitarianism”, including the State Department memo, which is a drug that saves core life. However, I heard that the closed HIV and tuberculosis therapy program could not resume the work until the USAID was received by the contacts of the USAID.
There were few people who could get a description of whether the work could continue because the contacts assigned to the USAID were fired, spread, or did not talk to others.
Thousands of people have already lost their jobs as a result of freezing. About 500 US employees of USAID have been fired. Health project staff were immediately fired from India to Zimbabwe. One group has fired more than 1,000 employees this week with an organization called the International Center for Diarrheal Disease Research.
Many non -profit organizations do not have enough funds to pay or maintain the supply to employees if the exemptions announced by Rubio are not applied to their own work (only a narrow activity is exempted). Already, organizations that depend on USAID funds have not been able to access money to repay the costs already incurred.
Two -thirds of the presidential malaria initiative employees were fired by organizations founded by the world’s largest George W. Bush and a donor to research and research around the world. These employees were contract staff. The agency had a long -term freezing of permanent positions and included the most senior and respected scientists in the world of malaria control.
The suspension of HIV treatment was triggered, but the suspension of the malaria business would endanger life immediately.
Africa’s malaria intervention is carefully planned in rainy, and the time varies from region to region. In the house, pesticides are sprayed, and children are treated with anti malaria drugs during the peak malaria infection time.
The scientist said, “We were able to reopen the fund support floodgate tomorrow, and this pause will allow children to die for several months.”
More than 50 million children were prevented from last year.
In 2019, in 2023, in 2023, Malaria delivered a quick test to Myanmar and Malaria drugs to Myanmar. Some organizations now have no workers to distribute supplies even if supplies arrive.
In some areas of this country, more than 50 % of cases are often fatal malaria types for children under 5 years of age. Malaria drugs appear to be qualified according to the provisions of “humanitarian support that changes humanitarian support, including essential medicines.” If it was included in the exemption, but there was no certainty, no one was bold to free the drug trapped in the Thai border.
About 2.4 million malaria bed nets are sitting in Asia’s production facilities, fulfilling US funding orders and fulfilling the boundaries of countries all over the south of Sahara. These contracts have been frozen because the purchased USAID subcontractors cannot talk to the manufacturer according to the freezing conditions. A manufacturer of a manufacturer said that there is a contract for 8 million nets in Limbo.
The largest project of USAID is called Global Health Supply Chain, and it is an effort to simplify the supply for HIV, malaria, parent health and other major areas to make the system more efficient and save money. In most cases, it operates in more than 55 countries that supply many major medicines. Now the global employee Web has been ordered to stop the work, except for essential work, such as protecting the warehouse’s products.
In Zambia, USAID uses a private truck transportation industry to support the mass distribution of public health products to transfer medicines from central to warehouses to seven local hubs. It is part of a wide range of US support for Zambia’s health system, one of the poorest countries in the world, and we are trying to build the government’s supply network capacity over time.
Since the suspension order was issued last Saturday, all vehicles that transported health products were suspended. The consultant who worked with the program said, “They suddenly took it out suddenly and effectively paralyzed Zambia’s public health.” The US funding system, which is currently similar in FROZEN, has also shifted the main parts of basic medical goods in Mozambique, Nigeria, Malawi and Haiti.
In East Africa, medical researchers who perform projects to find a way to stop the radio waves of HIV and develop more effective contraception have been distorted for the clinical trials.
“We have a woman who tests the vagina ring, already has a ring and can inject HIV -What happens to them when you say ‘stop’?” In many clinical trials, the HIV researcher said. “We have ethical obligations for those who volunteer for trial.”
