Delete crucial health data and resources for doctors
Let others know:
Several federal agencies deleted government websites containing information for health practitioners on contraception, HIV prevention, and more.
Removal of health data from CDC, FDA, HHS websites
N/A
January 31, 2025
On January 31, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration – two agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services – abruptly deleted a broad range of health-related data and other information from their public-facing websites, including resources identifying risks to youth health, HIV prevention, and contraception access. This was in response to guidance from the Office of Personnel Management directing agencies to delete all public-facing resources that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and so-called gender ideology. The deleted information includes crucial resources for doctors and researchers seeking to provide patients with the best possible care and develop clinical studies that produce accurate results. A group of health professionals and medical trainees has sued to challenge the deletion; a temporary restraining order has been granted stopping the removal of this data; and a motion for summary judgement is pending.
