Such a step would have “catastrophic effects on global health security and could lead to more than a million people die from avoidable diseases,” said Gavi boss Sania Nishtar on Thursday of the AFP news agency. The “New York Times” had reported that the US government is planning to collect its funds for Gavi.
The plans are related to the clear cutting of the development aid agency USAID by US President Donald Trump and his advisor Elon Musk. Nishtar said Gavi had not yet received a message about possible cuts from the US government. The vaccination alliance is “in conversation with the White House and the Congress in order to secure the $ 300 million approved by the congress for our activities in 2025 and long -term financing,” she added.
