US EditionCuts have eliminated more than a dozen US government health-tracking programs
- During the initial period of the Trump presidency, over a dozen CDC programs focused on monitoring health data were cut amid widespread layoffs and budget reductions.
- These cuts followed a Trump administration budget proposal calling for the CDC's core budget to be slashed by over half and focusing only on emerging infectious diseases.
- Programs tracking abortions, job-related injuries, lead poisoning, sexual violence, and youth smoking lost their entire staff, disrupting local health department support and data collection.
- The official leading the health department explained that the reductions are intended to eliminate inefficiencies, noting that up to one-fifth of the dismissed employees could be rehired, while opponents argue these cuts will impede efforts to fully understand public health issues.
- The cuts prompted New York Attorney General Letitia James to plan a lawsuit to block reductions to programs serving vulnerable populations, highlighting risks to social support and public health knowledge.
