96 Global Health NOW: The Megabill鈥檚 Major Health Cuts; Hanoi鈥檚 Concrete-Driven Air Quality Crisis; and Medical Schools Dust Off Old Curriculum On the line with the 鈥淏ig Beautiful Bill鈥� passed by the U.S. Senate: Cuts to Medicaid, providers, rural hospitals, and more.

Chip Somodevilla/Getty The Megabill鈥檚 Major Health Cuts
The 鈥淏ig Beautiful Bill鈥� passed yesterday by the U.S. Senate includes massive rollbacks to health programs that could lead to lost coverage for ~17 million Americans over the next decade, . 

The cuts also threaten the viability of hospitals, nursing homes, and community health centers, as they face the prospect of absorbing more care costs and receiving less federal support, .

On the line: 

Cuts to Medicaid, and work requirements: Medicaid faces the largest cuts in the program鈥檚 history, , largely stemming from a work requirement that could end coverage for millions who do not meet new standards and that involves filing regular paperwork proving 80 hours of work a month.

• Medicaid enrollees could also face new out-of-pocket copays up to $35.

Stricter ACA enrollment: Automatic reenrollment will end for people with ACA marketplace coverage; instead, they will be required to update information annually within a shorter enrollment period.

Blows to providers鈥攁nd rural care: The bill ends a decades-long practice of state provider taxes, which health facilities pay to increase matching federal payments for state Medicaid plans, . 

• Loss of this funding could push 300+ hospitals toward service reductions or closure, . 

Abortion providers cut out: The legislation eliminates Medicaid funding entirely for any health service providers who offer abortion care, . 

What鈥檚 next: The bill now returns to the House, which passed an earlier version; some Republicans have raised objections to the Senate鈥檚 changes to that version of the bill.

• And in March, the city recorded levels of harmful PM2.5 particle levels that were more than 24X the WHO鈥檚 recommended limits. 

What鈥檚 fueling the pollution? Urbanization in Vietnam has led to a rapid increase in development, which includes widespread use of concrete for highways, metro lines, and buildings.

96 Global Health NOW: The Loneliest Numbers: 100 Deaths an Hour; The DRC Aims to Eliminate AIDS in Children; and Using AI to Fight Ebola Misinformation July 1, 2025 Silhouette of a boy looking through the window of a colorful building in the Commonwealth of Dominica. June 13, 2019. Michael Melford/Design Pics Editorial/Universal Images Group via Getty The Loneliest Numbers: 100 Deaths an Hour
Every year, 871,000+ people die of causes stemming from loneliness, , which named the issue as 鈥渁 defining challenge of our time.鈥�

Diagnosing loneliness: The WHO defines loneliness as the distress that comes from the lack of desired relationships, while social isolation is defined by the objective absence of social ties, .

• One in 6 people globally suffers from loneliness. Social isolation is estimated to affect up to 1 in 3 older adults, and 1 in 4 adolescents.

Health impacts: Loneliness is linked to chronic illness, depression, anxiety, and cognitive decline. 

Especially vulnerable: People in low- and middle-income countries, who report loneliness at 2X the rate in high-income countries; and young people, as ~20.9% of adolescents reported loneliness compared with 11.8% of those aged 60+, . 

• The loneliest group: Teenage girls, with 24.3% reporting the condition. 

Multiple factors contribute to a culture of loneliness, including low income and education, poor health, lack of community infrastructure, and use of digital technologies.

Roadmap for action: The WHO is urging countries to make loneliness a priority in research, including policy in areas like digital reform and community spaces, and public interventions like Sweden鈥檚 鈧�30 million loneliness initiative.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has launched a new national initiative to eliminate AIDS among children by 2030鈥攁 move the UNAIDS director for the DRC called a 鈥渁 breath of fresh air鈥� amid widespread cuts to global HIV services. 

Background: Despite significant gains in the country鈥檚 response to adult HIV, children still have 鈥渆xtremely limited鈥� access to HIV prevention and treatment services.

• Just 44% of DRC children living with HIV in the country currently receive lifesaving treatment. 


• And every year, thousands of Congolese children are born infected鈥攁s a lack of prenatal screening means opportunities are missed to prevent mother-to-child transmission. 

Details: The $18 million effort will include improving prevention, early detection, and treatment of HIV for children, adolescents, and pregnant women.

Scientists in Uganda have used AI to generate transcripts based on thousands of hours of radio broadcasts for a study to learn what the nation鈥檚 communities are hearing about Ebola outbreaks. 

• , meaning 36.5 million people are offline. 


• ~55% of the population relies on the radio for information. 

Analyzing what the public is hearing, scientists say, is the first step to countering misinformation, tailoring public health messaging, and shaping policy.

The study found that the radio conversations during Uganda's Ebola outbreak in 2022 were largely dominated by government officials and media personalities. The lack of input from scientists led many Ugandans to believe the outbreak was tied to political and financial interests and that it was fabricated.

May 25. Carolyn Van Houten/The Washington Post via Getty The Human Cost of Aid Cuts Comes Into Focus
Six months since U.S. officials slashed USAID funding for global aid and development, the toll is becoming evident on intimate and international scales. 

Malnourished families increasingly have nowhere to turn in places that depended heavily on U.S. aid like Sudan and Nepal. Studies project cuts could lead to 163,500 additional child deaths annually, . 

In Nepal, the sudden halt of food shipments has already led to deaths and threatens to undo years of work addressing childhood wasting and stunting.

In war-torn Sudan, the cuts have triggered a cascade of preventable deaths from bacterial infections, cholera, and starvation as soup kitchens close and clinics鈥� stockrooms grow bare, . 

• One Sudanese mother described trying to soothe her starving children: 鈥淪ometimes I boiled water on the fire and told them I am cooking and just to wait.鈥�


• Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of doses of lifesaving peanut paste supplements paid for by the U.S. government are sitting in warehouses.

• With aid shrinking and debt burdens rising, achieving the 17 SDGs by 2030 is increasingly unlikely, .
