Aid reductions globally are gravely threatening the progress made against preventable diseases, leaving millions exposed to health risks. As diseases like polio have been mostly eradicated, new outbreaks of diseases such as measles and cholera are surfacing in conflict areas. The UK's decision to cut international aid to a 25-year low could jeopardize not only global health efforts but also domestic health security, as seen by the recent poliovirus detection in UK sewers. The government faces a critical choice that could have profound implications for both international health and national safety.
Aid reductions worldwide are jeopardizing hard-won progress against preventable diseases, making millions vulnerable to health risks once nearly conquered.
Britain must decide whether to engage in global health efforts or retreat, with implications for both humanitarian values and national security.
