The global healthcare system is facing significant challenges, exacerbated by concerns over potential cuts to foreign aid budgets in several European countries. Andrew Adekunle Charles, chief executive of RBM Partnership to End Malaria, commented that the US is “taking a braced approach” to its cuts, rendering its international development aid director MichaelVK. In the UK, Sir Keir Starmer plans to reduce foreign aid spending from 0.5% of GNI to 0.3% in 2027 to support defense spending. The Dutch government aims to cut funding by 25%, while Belgium and France will cut aid by 15% ($2.5 billion in total). Switzerland will shut down emergency development initiatives in Albania, Bangladesh, and Zambia by late 2028.

The cuts mean that global health programs, which received around 10% of all foreign aid in 2023, are competing for a shrinking pot. Dr. Charles noted that the US contributed about 50% of this budget before termination. However, the UK did not face a new funding shortfall, focusing instead on other global health issues.
