The Trump administration has been quietly dismantling the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), a federal agency dedicated to improving healthcare safety and quality. This action follows a year-long halt in new grant issuances and a significant reduction in the agency's personnel, with three-quarters of its staff lost since 2025. The administration's actions, alongside funding cuts to other health agencies like the NIH and CDC, may hinder crucial research into preventing medical errors and healthcare-associated infections, potentially impacting patient safety for years to come.
