Removing Restrictions on Foreign NGOs Receiving US Global Health Aid.

This bill prevents foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from being disqualified from receiving US global health assistance solely because they use their own, non-US funds for certain health services, such as counseling or referrals. This change ensures that organizations can continue vital work funded by the US (like fighting infectious diseases) while maintaining the ability to provide comprehensive health services using their own resources. All services must comply with the laws of the country where they are provided.
Key points
Foreign NGOs can use their own money for health services, including counseling and referrals, without losing US government funding.
Rules for advocacy and lobbying funded by the NGO's own resources will be the same for foreign organizations as they are for US organizations receiving the same aid.
