"A year later, people have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with friends and relatives. Former U.S.A.I.D. workers who have done informal surveys estimate that less than half have found full-time work, with many making less than before. An estimated third are unemployed. Others are in part-time work." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/us/politics/usaid-former-employees.html #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth #USAID #ForeignAid #ForeignAssistance #development #DOGE #USpol #workers

"Now, the Trump administration is ratcheting up the pressure on countries to pull out of these arrangements with Cuba. A number in Latin America and the Caribbean are falling into line. Among the nations yielding to this pressure are Guatemala, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Paraguay and Honduras. They're phasing out the programs, reevaluating the payment model and sometimes canceling altogether." https://www.npr.org/2026/03/24/nx-s1-5746626/cuba-doctors-mission-blockade #healthcare #GlobalHealth #cuba #physicians #USpol
