The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has laid off about 10,000 employees across major health agencies, including the CDC, FDA, and NIH. Senior leaders within these organizations were also reassigned. Concerns were raised about how these cuts would impair the functioning of these agencies, particularly at the FDA, where the loss of experienced personnel could impact product safety and development. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested that this reorganization aims to emphasize preventive healthcare over merely addressing sickness.
The layoffs included about 10,000 employees from major health agencies, alarming former officials about the potential degradation of critical health infrastructure and safety.
This recalibration aims to shift focus towards preventive measures rather than reactive sick care, emphasizing a broader approach to health management.
