Expanding Faith-based Healthcare in Nigeria through the America First Global Health Strategy

Based on what is visible, the page appears to be inaccessible due to a technical or permission issue, not clearly deleted. The title and URL of the press statement still appear in State Department search results and on related State.gov pages, which usually indicates the content exists but access is restricted or the site is having broader problems. However, from the outside it is impossible to say definitively whether this is temporary or a long‑term block.

'Exception: forbidden' is consistent with an HTTP 403 Forbidden error. A 403 means the server understood your request for the page but is refusing to fulfill it—often because of access‑control rules, permissions, or security filters—rather than the page not existing at all.

The press release clearly was published by the State Department, but likely at a different, canonical URL rather than the /releases/preview/660581/ address. Multiple independent outlets reproduce the text and cite the State Department as the source, and State.gov search listings show the press statement under an “office-of-the-spokesperson” path. The specific preview URL you have either was an internal draft/preview link never meant for public use or has since been restricted or moved, but the content itself was published.

For questions about the substance or availability of a press release, the State Department’s Office of Press Operations is the appropriate contact; their “Information for Journalists” page directs media queries there. For purely technical problems with the website (error pages, access issues not tied to content policy), you would normally use the State Department’s general “Contact Us”/webmaster contact, but those details are not visible when the site is returning the same error. From publicly available guidance, a practical route is:

• Contact the Office of Press Operations (press office) to request the statement or flag the access problem.
• If you can access it, use the State.gov “Contact Us” page to report a site error to the web team. Specific current email/phone details are not reliably accessible from the live site due to the same error, and only older archived guidance lists a press-duty email and phone number.

No public cached or archived copy of the exact preview URL (https://www.state.gov/releases/preview/660581/) could be found on the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine or similar services. However, the text of the press release is available on other sites that reproduced it from State.gov. Those mirrors can be used as an alternative if the official page remains inaccessible, but they are not official archives of that specific URL.

From outside, there is no clear evidence that this specific page was blocked for legal, privacy, or security-policy reasons. The error message (“technical difficulties … Exception: forbidden”) is a generic WordPress‑style response that usually reflects configuration or permission problems (often a 403 Forbidden), not a formal legal takedown notice. When governments block or remove content for legal or national‑security reasons, they often issue a more explicit statement or use a different error template; no such explanation appears here. To check for an official rationale, you would normally:

• Look on State.gov for a notice about site outages or content removals (newsroom or announcements pages).
• Search for the document title on State.gov’s search and related pages to see if it has been replaced, relocated, or annotated.
• Contact the Office of Press Operations to ask whether the statement has been restricted or withdrawn. At present, publicly available information does not identify a specific legal, privacy, or security reason for the block.
