96 Global Health NOW: How the CDC Was Immobilized as Measles Spread; Nigeria鈥檚 Pregnant Pause; and Lessons From Botswana on Eliminating Pediatric HIV August 27, 2025 KFF Health News How the CDC Was Immobilized as Measles Spread    As Texas faced the country鈥檚 worst measles outbreak in decades, state and local health officials seeking help from the CDC were met with little to no response鈥攁s scientists at the federal agency were hampered by new restrictions under the Trump administration, .     Hands tied: The report details interwoven crises, both in Texas, where health facilities became overwhelmed and misinformation surged; and within federal health agencies facing communications crackdowns, stalled reports, and staff and budget cuts.    Deadly delays: As the outbreak exploded, Texas officials heard from the CDC only after a child had died on Feb. 26.  

• Meanwhile, outbreaks spread to five U.S. states and Mexico, sickening 4,500+ and killing at least 16. 

The Quote: 鈥淎ll of us at CDC train for this moment, a massive outbreak,鈥� said a CDC researcher. 鈥淎ll this training and then we weren鈥檛 allowed to do anything.鈥� 
  Growing threat: Measles continues to spread nationwide, and childhood vaccination rates continue to decline.  

• Missouri鈥檚 kindergarten measles vaccination rate has fallen to 90%鈥攂elow the 95% threshold needed for community immunity, .  

• Ohio鈥檚 kindergarten vaccination rates have reached a new low of 85.4%, .

  MATERNAL HEALTH Nigeria鈥檚 Pregnant Pause    The loss of hundreds of millions of dollars from USAID and the resurgence of the Boko Haram militant group in Nigeria have increased dangers for pregnant women in the country鈥攚hich already has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world. 

• 1 in 4 maternal deaths worldwide occurred in Nigeria in 2023. 

• 1 in 100 Nigerian women dies giving birth.  

Contributing factors:  

• A chronically underfunded health system and long distances to health care. 

• In areas like Borno state, rocked by Boko Haram attacks, health workers also report difficulty recruiting doctors. 

Major losses: Nigeria approved an emergency $200 million toward the country鈥檚 health budget, but family planning services expect cuts of almost 97% in 2025, leaving little support for pregnant women.       GLOBAL HEALTH VOICES INFECTIOUS DISEASES Lessons From Botswana on Eliminating Pediatric HIV    Botswana is the first African nation to secure the WHO鈥檚 Gold Tier certification for eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmission: By 2023 just 1.2% of infants born in the country contracted HIV.    How did they do it? 

• Early adoption of the WHO鈥檚 Option鈥疊+ policy, offering lifelong antiretroviral therapy to all pregnant and breastfeeding women living with HIV.  

• Free maternity services with high antenatal care coverage and facility-based births, ensuring universal access. 

• High-quality lab services and repeat maternal testing to identify infections early and prevent vertical transmission.  

The country also devotes sustained government funding to HIV programs as part of the annual budget, uses digital health systems to drive universal antenatal care, and engages the community to tackle HIV stigma.      OPPORTUNITY QUICK HITS 鈥業t happened in seconds鈥�: residents count the cost of deadly floods that have left Pakistan in crisis 鈥�
