NORD and other members of the Zika Coalition have sent a letter to Congress expressing dismay that federal and state agencies have not yet been provided with the funding needed to combat the Zika virus. The letter urges immediate action to address the issue, which it calls a public health emergency. Other members of the Coalition, in addition to NORD, include the American Public Health Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, March of Dimes, and National Hispanic Medical Association.
