Congress funded PEPFAR. The money exists. Yet @CDCgov’s role in most countries ends September 30 by administrative guidance, not by law. That gap — between what the legislature authorized and what the executive will operationally deliver — is not a funding problem. It’s a structural one. We route global health through institutions never designed to carry it, then act surprised when a single guidance memo can unwind two decades of capability. As @HouseForeign and its members @RepBrianMast @RepMikeLawler amend the Foreign Service Act via the Foreign Service Modernization Act, they should consider building a dedicated Foreign Health Service architecture for this mission. You don’t fix that with more money. You fix it with architecture built for the mission. That’s the case I made in Think Global Health last week. thinkglobalhealth.org/articl…… #PEPFAR #GlobalHealthSecurity #ForeignHealthService @ChrisCoons @LindseyGraham @BrianSchatz @BarbaraLee @JeanneShaheen @RepBrianMast @AmbCdeBaca @RepSaraJacobs @RepAdamSmith @globalhealth @PEPFAR

The 2026 Bundibugyo outbreak is now the fastest-growing on record for this virus. The epidemiology gets the headlines. The governance is the more important story. @CNN @nytimes @Reuters @BBCWorld @WSJ @AP @Devex @ThinkGlobalHlth thinkglobalhealth.org/articl… #Ebola #PEPFAR #GlobalHealthSecurity

Happening now: Congressional hearing on #PEPFAR, the most successful public health initiative in history. Saves 26M lives, prevents countless infections, and cuts costs by reducing healthcare burdens. Keeps America safer by curbing global disease spread. @BillGates @Atul_Gawande @WhiteHouse @CDCgov @PEPFAR @elonmusk @joerogan @DOGE @SecRubio @MarkDybul @StateDept spread the word - more people need to know about this efficient, money-saving program - the largest single-disease commitment by any nation. #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #healthdiplomacy #EfficientGov appropriations.house.gov/sch…

.@Wizara_afyaTZ has declared the MVD outbreak in Tanzania over. Throughout the disease response, U.S. embassy health experts in Tanzania provided technical assistance and on the ground support. With the active disease outbreak declared over, the U.S. government will continue working closely with TZ’s Min of Health to investigate the origins of the Kagera outbreak, and ultimately prevent future outbreaks, ensuring Americans and Tanzanians remain healthy and safe.

The U.S. Government mobilized a coordinated interagency response, working with @wizara_afyatz and partners to rapidly contain the Marburg outbreak in Tanzania, helping to keep Americans safe, both at home and abroad 🇺🇸🇹🇿

Yesterday, we joined partners on Capitol Hill to reflect on 🔟 years of progress since the West African #Ebola outbreak. CDC leverages the learnings from the response to build & strengthen core public health capabilities and enable stronger #GlobalHealthSecurity today.

Health is a foreign policy imperative and the U.S. remains committed to strengthening #GlobalHealthSecurity. In this clip, @SecBlinken explains why @StateDept worked with Congress to create the Bureau of Global Health Security and Diplomacy.
