Global Health Watch: Restructuring PEPFAR, Political Control Over Science; FDA + African Medicines Agency MoU - AVAC
ā¢ The US Administration is restructuring the systems supporting PEPFAR and global health security, shifting its engagement strategy toward regulatory influence over long-term public health partnerships. ā¢ Concerns are rising that increased political oversight and the deconstruction of international collaborations may undermine the NIH's scientific infrastructure and its history of HIV research and vaccine development. ā¢ In a move toward regulatory cooperation, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the African Medicines Agency (AMA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a shared framework for information sharing.
