UK Faces Backlash Over Global Aid Cuts

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government faces mounting criticism for considering reductions to the UK’s Global Fund contributions for AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria programs. Charities, health experts, and lawmakers warn that such cuts could reverse decades of progress in global health. The Global Fund has reportedly saved millions of lives since 2002. Critics argue that scaling back now could damage Britain’s reputation as a humanitarian leader. Downing Street insists budgetary pressures are driving the review, but global partners call for renewed commitment.
