This Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) research brief presents key insights from interviews with ten medical and public health experts who support projects across Ethiopia, including in Addis Ababa and Tigray, and data on the impact of the funding cuts across Ethiopia. This brief has a specific focus on Tigray where impacts of regional tensions have exacerbated by cuts to global health aid between February and May 2025. This brief can be used to inform U.S. policymakers, the government of Ethiopia, the international aid community, and global health and human rights leaders of the urgent need to act to restore funding to critical health services.
