<p>Africa is undergoing a health funding crisis due to overreliance on external aid and a lack of internal investment from African governments. The healthcare sector is 95 percent dependent on external aid for crucial commodities: vaccines, medication, and diagnostic equipment. Africa saw a 41 percent rise in public health emergencies in 2024, highlighting the vulnerability of the health infrastructure. In response to these challenges, the Africa Center for Disease Control (CDC) released a concept paper titled: <a href="https://africacdc.org/download/africas-health-financing-in-a-new-era-april-2025/">Africa’s Health Financing in a New Era</a>. In this concept paper, the Africa CDC introduces innovative financing measures to bridge the funding gap. </p>
<p>Mvemba is joined by Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director-General of the Africa CDC, to discuss the importance of good governance, private sector investment, and strategic planning in strengthening Africa’s domestic resource mobilization.</p>
