Dear John,
Heads up! We have an exciting event on the horizon with our friends at the Society for Health Policy Young Professionals.
On December 13, our Lunch & Learn series ([link removed] ) will feature Dr. Tom Kenyon as part of a greater discussion on why PEPFAR (the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) is important, the risk considered with future decision making, and the broad scope of the program.

Global Drug Inspections Post-COVID-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it would reduce inspections of domestic and foreign drug manufacturing facilities.
In the December issue of Health Affairs, Emily Cuddy and coauthors examine trends in the FDA’s inspections of drug manufacturing establishments ([link removed] ) between 2012-22.
The researchers find that after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, “the number of inspections declined significantly and had not recovered as of 2022, especially for foreign establishments.”
In 2022, total annual foreign inspections were down approximately 79 percent compared with 2019, and domestic inspections were down by about 35 percent.
Following the updated COVID-19 policy, inspections also used more resources and had worse outcomes.
Cuddy and her coauthors recommend that the FDA increase its investigator workforce, prioritize foreign inspections, increase international cooperation, spread the drug quality assurance burden, and increase patients’ awareness of drug quality.
