The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will cut about 10,000 full-time jobs and close half of its regional offices, it said on Thursday, a major overhaul of the department under Secretary Robert F.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is set to undergo a significant reduction in its workforce, with plans to cut approximately 10,000 jobs. This decision comes as part of a broader initiative by the Kennedy administration to streamline government operations and reduce federal spending. The layoffs are expected to affect various sectors within HHS, including administrative roles, research positions, and public health programs. Critics argue that these cuts could undermine public health efforts, particularly at a time when the nation is still recovering from the impacts of the global health crisis. However, supporters of the move believe it will lead to more efficient use of resources and potentially redirect funds to more critical areas of need. The exact timeline for these layoffs and the specific departments most affected have not been fully detailed, but the announcement has already sparked a debate on the balance between fiscal responsibility and public health needs.
