IG Live February 4: Public Health Under Attack

Within the first couple of weeks of his second term, President Trump has unleashed a blizzard of executive orders affecting public health through changes to federal health agency communications, webpages, meetings, and grants. In addition, CDC scientists have been ordered to withdraw or pause the publication of any research manuscript being considered by medical or scientific journals. Global health is also in the crosshairs, with a pause on foreign aid and the U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization.

Public health leaders are sounding the alarm, warning of the potential consequences for both domestic and global health.

Join us for an Instagram Live event, where experts will break down the latest developments and offer insights into what healthcare professionals need to know.

Featuring:

Jeremy Faust, MD, (moderator) editor-in-chief at MedPage Today (@jeremysamuelfaust)

Georges C. Benjamin, MD, executive director of the American Public Health Association (@americanpublichealth)
