Ghana struggles to fight disease, poverty without U.S. aid

Season 2025 Episode 183 | 10m 36s

A study in The Lancet suggests that cuts to USAID could result in the death of 14 million people over the next five years. Ghana has long been seen as a beacon of democracy in West Africa, but it still struggles with poverty and serious health problems, especially in rural areas. With the support of The Pulitzer Center, William Brangham reports on what ending aid will mean for people there.
