Mass layoffs are underway at various U.S. health agencies including the CDC and FDA, as part of a significant overhaul led by RFK Jr. The restructuring, which aims to cut approximately 10,000 jobs, is described as a ‘transformation’ intended to streamline operations and make the health system more efficient. However, this initiative has sparked considerable internal turmoil as employees confront uncertainty regarding their job security. Critics express concerns about the potential negative impact on essential health services, particularly in the wake of ongoing health challenges. The restructuring plan also includes the closure of several offices and the elimination of entire departments, signaling a stark shift in U.S. health policy priorities under the current administration.
