HHS Initiates Debarment of EcoHealth Alliance President

Federal action follows findings of grant violations and improper oversight of Wuhan lab research.

Dr. Peter Daszak faces debarment for non-compliance with federal grant protocols.
EcoHealth Alliance's funds were suspended due to risky research activities at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
House Select Subcommittee on Coronavirus Pandemic provided evidence of EcoHealth's misconduct.
Daszak's inability to provide required documentation prompted immediate suspension.
Debarment proceedings aim to prevent future federal funding to Daszak and EcoHealth.
