Before the end of the year, PAHPA should be reauthorized

BCHC signed onto a letter led by John Hopkins Center for Health Security about the urgent need to reauthorize the Pandemic and All-hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA) before the end of the calendar year. This overall framework expired on September 30, 2023, requiring stopgap, temporary extensions in the continuing resolution, which expires on November 17. We encourage Congress to include a comprehensive five-year PAHPA reauthorization in the next moving legislative vehicle.

Failing to reauthorize PAHPA would have serious effects on our country’s economic wellbeing, national security, and health security given the rapidly changing threat landscape.
