      Seems pretty silly spending all these money on Healthcare overseas when so many people domestically have no access to affordable treatment for these same diseases.

      For decades, the United States has led the world in development assistance for health, including efforts to eradicate infectious diseases and strengthen health systems in other nations.

      Notably, the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)—the largest disease-specific foreign aid effort of any nation—has invested more than $120 billion in HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment since its founding in 2003. The United States has also led the charge on combating malaria, which killed an estimated 600,000 people in 2023.

      CFR’s [Think Global Health has more](https://www.thinkglobalhealth.org/article/defining-moment-global-health-funding) on U.S. global health funding and the potential impact of the Trump administration’s recent cuts.

      It’s very unclear what does “United States funding flows” what do the “United States” part of the graph represent? What is development assistance? Is it money US spend to assist foreign nation? If yes why does the graph downstream looks to contain only health related stuff? Are the numbers for NGOs, UN agencies etc also only health related?

      NGOs, WHO etc receive funding from government and spend on AIDS as well so why is it not represented in the graph?

      I almost can’t believe this graph was created by a serious organization.

      8.6 billion out of 20.6 billion is not “most”. Neither this image nor post title are beautiful.
