Authors are John Stover and Emily Sonneveldt from Avenir Health. The abstract notes that in January 2025, the U.S. halted nearly all foreign health aid to low- and middle-income countries, creating uncertainty and making it difficult for national programs to adapt. The study estimates the impact on outcomes in four key areas: HIV, tuberculosis (TB), family planning (FP), and maternal and child health (MCH).
If you're wondering what the projected mortality and morbidity rates might look like in a future defunded of US investment in science and health, here's a preprint article of some very sobering findings.

The cost to you: $18.2 million. And counting.

$18 million spent on golf course SO FAR - thatβs roughly 6 big research grants from NIH - giving employment to 6 research teams (approx. 18 people total), resources and research reagents, for 5 YEARS! Plus priceless research + discoveries that SAVE HEALTH AND LIVES!
