U.S. Health Department to cut 10,000 jobs in Major Restructuring

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced plans to eliminate 10,000 jobs as part of a sweeping restructuring initiative. The move, revealed on Thursday, will reduce the agency’s workforce from 82,000 to 72,000 positions.

HHS oversees a vast range of public health responsibilities, including monitoring infectious diseases, inspecting food and hospital facilities, and managing health insurance programs that serve nearly half the country.

The agency has not yet detailed which divisions will be most affected, but the cuts are expected to have a significant impact on health services across the nation. The decision comes amid ongoing debates over government spending and the future of public health programs.

More details on the restructuring plan are expected in the coming weeks.
