The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may scale back or stop efforts on a global initiative to prevent and respond to epidemics, according to an article on the Fierce Healthcare website.
The CDC has been working with more than 30 countries on responses to disease outbreaks.
The initiative's funding will run out at the end of fiscal year 2019.
The CDC said that if funding remains at current levels it will have to focus on only 10 countries in the fall of 2019: India, Thailand, Vietnam, Kenya, Uganda, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Jordan and Guatemala.
