About this listen
In this week’s episode of Africa Health Weekly, host Beverly Ndifoin covers a series of transformative developments and urgent challenges across Africa: the cost of the long-acting HIV prevention drug lenacapavir has been slashed by 99%, making it available for just $40 a year in over 120 countries; Google selects Nigeria’s Infinity Health Africa for its first AI for GovTech accelerator; Togo rises to medium Human Development Index status; Uganda unveils an ambitious plan to grow health tourism tenfold; and Ghana expands its National Health Insurance Scheme to include sickle cell treatment. We also look at Sudan’s mounting health crisis amid conflict, Côte d’Ivoire’s reopening of health facilities with UNICEF’s support, Tunisian health workers’ push for fairer pay and protections, Morocco’s new research linking workplace health to economic loss, and efforts in Egypt, Somaliland, and Botswana to strengthen access to essential medicines and vaccines.
Stay tuned as we bring Africa’s health stories to life, one week at a time.
