Massive rid of health care workers will now join some of the country’s most elite. According to a report, Johns Hopkins University will soon eliminate more than 2,000 jobs as a result of recent deductions to USAID. NBC News. The deductions will include 1,975 jobs internationally, as well as 247 employees in the United States to flee.
Most of the affected employees are affiliated with the Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Medical School and an affiliated non -profit organization. Here are that these leaves will produce devastating health consequences for public health and Americans’ welfare.
A program in India, which is known Take a sharpJohn Hopkins will be directly affected by the deductions. Since 2019, the program has helped detect and prevent HIV in India. Since its inception, he examined about 120 120,000 people for HIV, diagnosed 20,000 new cases and provided medicines to about 8,000 children with HIV.
Without this program, fully, less children will be treated for HIV, fewer Indians will be diagnosed with HIV and will continue to hurt people. The results may not be overnight, but over time, people will have less access to medicines that will weaken their immune system and allow them to get all kinds of infections that will be protected from them.
Dr. Sunil Soul“This program is definitely a lot of lives,” said a pandemic specialist who helps to accelerate the lead.
Other important health measures will also be deeply affected. The programs included to stop includes a tuberculosis research program as well as one Clinical trial Bangladesh is designed to reduce the spread of cholera and other diarrhea diseases. Staying on these measures means that more and more people abroad will begin to move some of these deadly diseases as tuberculosis. There are no borders for diseases, and in the future, Americans’ health is at risk, which travels and how to easily transmit diseases.
Johns Hopkins have been at the forefront of responding to the global health emergency, which is not limited to the spread of infectious diseases. Reducing the workforce will rapidly damage the reaction capabilities, monitoring and research capabilities that are essential to handling future health risks that are always present, such as bird flu and measles.
Johns Hopkins and many institutions in the United States are already facing many challenges of funding. The Trump administration last month planned to limit indirect costs by 15 % to restrict the National Institute of Health’s research grant, which translates hundreds of millions of dollars in financial support for many entities, including John Hopkins. Although this policy is currently being challenged in court, federal funding for research in institutions across the country is uncertain.
Federal funding includes all of these deductions, including the recent holidays from the prevailing institutions that disrupt the integrity of academic sovereignty and public research. Critical and life -saving health measures should be free from political pressure. Universities do not have to choose between life -saving care for HIV and the salaries of key health workers.
These measures have established a dangerous view of public health, research and humanitarian aid. The United States has always been a leader in global health, and it should do so. The lives of millions of weak people depend on this.
