US EditionDepartment of Health and Human Services will cut 10,000 jobs as part of a major restructuring plan
- On Thursday, March 27, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services , led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., announced it would cut 10,000 full-time employees across various health agencies as part of a major restructuring plan.
- This overhaul, reportedly part of the 'Make America Healthy Again' initiative, builds upon earlier Trump administration efforts to reduce the federal workforce and cut costs, following the voluntary departure of approximately 10,000 employees since President Trump took office.
- The cuts are planned across different departments, including the Food and Drug Administration , Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , and National Institutes of Health , with some employees being offered a $25,000 buyout.
- According to a video message posted to X, Kennedy stated, "We will eliminate an entire alphabet soup of departments, while preserving their core functions."
- The restructuring aims to streamline authorities within the $1.7 trillion agency, potentially saving $1.8 billion, though some employees express concerns about low morale within agencies like the FDA and NIH, and there are ongoing public health concerns such as measles outbreaks and potential avian flu transmission.
