Our new @KFF brief looks at the potential reach of a conservative proposal to reinstate & expand the Mexico City Policy beyond foreign NGOs & U.S. global health aid, if Pres. Trump wins the election- likely implicating tens of billions more $ than in past:

We @KFF just launched the Health Policy 101, a guide to key U.S. health policy issues. I worked on the #globalhealth section with @stephoum @jenkatesdc. This 101 is a great resource for faculty, students, or anyone interested in learning more. https://t.co/Jyvl8Q869Q

The main implications of PEPFAR not being reauthorized?

[Kellie Moss @KMossGH]

Our @KFF U.S. Global Health Legislation Tracker is following more than 50 bills with #globalhealth provisions that have been introduced during the 118th Congress. Update just published to show the latest actions and bills - check it out!

Much of the reason @PEPFAR reauthorization has been stymied is because it's caught in the political crosshairs of abortion. But there's also an institutional memory issue: only 15% of current members of Congress were in office when PEPFAR was first created (more data follow):

What could happen if @PEPFAR, the U.S. signature initiative on global health is not reauthorized by Congress this year? KFF experts @jenkatesdc and Kellie Moss explain in a commentary for @ThinkGlobalHlth.

A global push to #EndPolio by 2026 is underway. If polio is eradicated, it would only be the second time in history that a disease affecting humans is wiped out. This #WorldPolioDay, learn about the U.S. role in efforts to address polio globally.

Today, leaders around the world pledged funding to #endpolio, with wild poliovirus (WPV) at very low case levels. But challenges, like circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV), remain for global polio eradication and USG efforts. Learn more: https://t.co/X762XhxKEF

[Secretary Xavier Becerra @SecBecerra]

Congratulations to @Surgeon_General on being nominated to represent the U.S. on the Executive Board of @WHO! @POTUS has picked a champion for the health and well-being of all Americans and the perfect person to work with our @HHS_Global team and international partners in health.

NEW: We assessed #monkeypox (MPX) vaccine eligibility across the United States:
- there's lots of variation by jurisdiction
- info is often hard to find
- this has implications for access/equity. w/@LindseyH_Dawson tatyanaroberts @annarouw

Ahead of its replenishment this month, examine the U.S. role in the @GlobalFund, an independent, multilateral financing entity that raises new resources to combat HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria in low- and middle-income countries: https://t.co/Z83BDRlBPH

UPDATED: Our @KFF U.S. #globalhealth legislation tracker, which is tracking 80+ bills - including appropriations bills - that have been introduced during the 117th Congress.

Recently, @PEPFAR has elevated its focus on sustainability, placing it “at same level of priority as epidemic control.” Our NEW analysis provides an initial look at how it is currently defining/approaching sustained epidemic control at the country level.

https://t.co/COtiB5jn7k

[Kellie Moss @KMossGH]

More information about PEPFAR’s approach and progress toward sustained epidemic control may be forthcoming, as PEPFAR is expected to release a new strategy and sustainability roadmaps for some countries. Plus, reauthorization discussions are likely to begin later this year.

[Kellie Moss @KMossGH]

Our NEW @KFF brief finds that the @PEPFAR sustained epidemic control picture is multi-layered, and there is significant variation across countries and across dimensions.

[Kellie Moss @KMossGH]

Going forward, better understanding how these markers of sustainability, such as epidemic control status, financial dependency, and MPR status, fit together may help to paint a clearer narrative of PEPFAR country progress.
