Summary
A major operational change to PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) took effect on June 1, shifting how the program is managed. Experts warn this will lead to a significant reduction in CDC's presence abroad, weakening U.S. public health infrastructure globally. A former CDC director cautions the move will make the United States more vulnerable to global health threats by reducing its ability to detect and respond to emerging disease outbreaks.
