The ‘possible’ disproportionate effect of USAID’s Pausal and WHO withdrawal on global childhood immunisation efforts in low-income countries

This article addresses critical gaps in understanding the potential impacts of the withdrawal of the US from WHO and the reduction of pausal of USAID's funding for public health initiatives with a focus on childhood immunization programs in low-resource settings. By highlighting the disproportionate effects on vulnerable populations, particularly zero-dose children in countries like Nigeria, this manuscript contributes to the discourse on health equity and the sustainability of global health initiatives.

Abstract

This article addresses critical gaps in understanding the potential impacts of the withdrawal of the US from WHO and the reduction of pausal of USAID's funding for public health initiatives with a focus on childhood immunization programs in low-resource settings. By highlighting the disproportionate effects on vulnerable populations, particularly zero-dose children in countries like Nigeria, this manuscript contributes to the discourse on health equity and the sustainability of global health initiatives.
