Federal Health Data and Websites to be Restored Following Lawsuit Settlement
September 4, 2025 - 13:11
In a significant development, federal health officials have agreed to restore crucial health data and websites that were removed shortly after the inauguration of former President Donald Trump. This decision comes as part of a settlement in a lawsuit that challenged the removal of vital information on various health topics, including pregnancy risks, opioid-use disorder, and the AIDS epidemic.
The deletions were reportedly prompted by an executive order from Trump that instructed agencies to refrain from using the term "gender" in federal policies and documents. Critics argued that this directive not only limited access to essential health information but also undermined public health efforts aimed at addressing critical issues.
The settlement marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing dialogue about health information accessibility and the importance of comprehensive data in formulating public health policies. The restoration of these resources is expected to benefit healthcare providers, researchers, and the general public by ensuring they have access to accurate and relevant health information.
