Stefan Swartling Peterson

Stefan Swartling Peterson is a professor of global health at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, currently working in Ghana. He has witnessed firsthand the adverse effects of U.S. foreign aid cuts under President Trump, particularly in sexual and reproductive health services. Peterson warns that these cuts not only jeopardize lives, particularly those living with HIV but also undermine the scientific community and fact-based policymaking, with far-reaching consequences for global health and the management of pandemics.
