Judge blocks further USAID shutdown
Federal judge declares shuttering of USAID 鈥榣ikely unconstitutional鈥�; promising trial for yearly preventative HIV injections; gynaecological problems could affect heart health.
A federal judge has said the shuttering of USAID is 鈥榣ikely unconstitutional鈥�, while the Trump administration has been ordered to pay back bills for USAID. But what difference is this making on the ground? Global health journalist Andrew Green is in Uganda finding out. Also on the show, a new safety trial shows yearly injections of the drug lenacapivir may be able to prevent HIV transmission, and PCOS and endometriosis are two fairly common gynecological issues, but could they also lead to cardiovascular issues?
