Geneva Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance has expressed serious concern over the stoppage of American funding. Gavi CEO Dr. Sania Dhishtar has warned that it can have a devastating effect on global health. In recent statements given to AFP and other media, Digno stressed that the cut in US support could lead to deaths of about 1.3 million children. Which can be stopped. This will severely weaken the ability to face the outbreaks of the disease in the world.

This warning has come after those reports that the Trump administration is planning to end funding for Gavi. Gavi is a public-private partnership that has vaccinated more than 1.1 billion children in lower-oriented countries since 2000 and has stopped about 1.9 crore deaths. America is the third largest donor in Gavi, which currently contributes about 15% of its budget. Which includes the promise to pay $ 1.6 billion for 2026-2030.

However, the US agency for International Development (USAID) has indicated a plan to abolish this support in the 281-position document shared with the Congress, which is part of the change of the US First Policy. Speaking to Washington, Dhishtar said that Gavi has not received notice of termination officially. But with the White House and Congress, they are talking immediately to secure a long -term funding of $ 300 million.

This is the right time to retaliate on India! Why America threatened such a threat, said- we are robbing us for a long time

He described the possible cuts as disastrous. This will threaten regular vaccination of 7.5 crore children in five years. Due to which they will become sensitive to diseases like measles, polio and tuberculosis. Beyond vaccination of children, dignity reported that funding cuts would weaken the global outbreak response. Which will threaten vaccine stocks for diseases like Ebola, Cholera and MonkeyPox.
