Boston-based JSI, a leading global health organization, has laid off around 1,100 employees worldwide due to a funding freeze from the US Agency for International Development (USAID). This significant reduction affects both US and international offices, according to a company spokesperson. The move comes as a response to the uncertain funding environment, impacting global health initiatives and programs. With a focus on public health and international development, JSI's restructuring efforts aim to navigate the current challenges in the global health sector, including funding constraints and shifting priorities in healthcare systems. Key areas like global health security and health systems strengthening are likely to be affected.
