House subcommittee approves fiscal year 2011 spending bill with $8.25B for global health
The House State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee has approved a draft spending bill for fiscal year 2011, which would provide funding lower than President Obama’s request but higher than FY2010. The bill would provide $8.25 billion for global health efforts, including $5.875 for HIV/AIDS programs, $615 million for malaria programs, and increased funding for programs that address maternal and child health, family planning, tuberculosis, and neglected tropical diseases. The bill reduced by $4 billion President Obama’s funding request for the State Department, the US Agency for International Development, and several other foreign aid programs.
