The dismantling of USAID and the release of the "America First Global Health Strategy" in 2025 represent a dramatic departure from decades of bipartisan U.S. leadership in global health. This shift challenges the principles of multilateralism and international cooperation, values deeply rooted in Catholic social teaching.
Hosted by Georgetown Law's O’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, Catholic Health Association of the United States (CHA), Georgetown University Global Health Institute (GHI), and GHI's Faith and Global Health Initiative bring this webinar will explore how Catholic health, education and social ministries can respond with unity, compassion, and courage.
Participants will reflect on the Church's global mission, grounded in solidarity, subsidiarity, and the inherent dignity of every person. We will discuss the opportunity to strengthen our collective response as Catholic institutions.
